The second edition of this book has been fully updated to include
information on optical sensors launched since 2012 and on new
developments in technology, particularly on small satellites and on
constellations. There is also a new chapter on applications which
looks at how products from optical sensors are used by various
organisations for the benefit of end users. Information is given on
acquiring images and value added products. Examples and case
studies from various disciplines and regions are included. The book
is a comprehensive guide to the characteristics and use of high
resolution optical images from satellite-borne sensors,
concentrating on sensors designed for mapping. It considers in
detail the SPOT series of satellites and sensors with a ground
sample distance (GSD) of less than 15m, operational since SPOT 1
and particularly the sensors launched since 1999 with GSD of less
than 1m The book explains to students, anyone working in map
production and scientists working in fields other than mapping, the
way in which high resolution imagery is obtained and the issues
which surround its collection and use. It deals progressively with
the fundamentals of mapping from imagery, followed by the key
features in the design of sensors and methods of data storage and
transmission, including data compression. Subsequent chapters cover
the sensors, calibration, sensor models and the methods of
determining the orientation elements and extracting coordinates
from the images. Rigorous orientation, use of rational polynomial
coefficients (RPCs) and approximate methods are covered. Results
from tests showing the accuracy which can be obtained, generation
of digital elevations models, their accuracy and the production of
orthoimages are included, as are image processing and data fusion.
Finally, future missions and the issues which face further
development are discussed. High Resolution Optical Satellite
Imagery is written by a team of acknowledged international experts,
is the only comprehensive text on the subject and has been well
received by the geospatial community.
