High Resolution Satellite Image Orientation Models

A few years ago high resolution satellite imagery became available to a limited number of government and defense agencies that managed such imagery with highly sophisticated software and hardware tools. Such images became available to civil users in 1999 with the launch of Ikonos, the first civil satellite offering a spatial resolution of 1 m. Since then other high resolution satellites have been launched, among which there are EROS-A (1.8 m), QuickBird (0.61 m), Orbview-3 (1 m), EROS-B (0.7 m), Worldview-1 (0.5 m) and GeoEye-1 (0.41 m), with many others being planned to launch in the near future. High resolution satellite imagery is now available in different formats and processing levels at an affordable price. The diverse types of sensors and their growing availability are revolutionizing the role of satellite imagery in a number of applications, ranging from intelligency to insurance, media, marketing, agriculture, utilities, urban planning, forestry, environmental monitoring, transportation, real estate etc. As a possible alternative to aerial imagery, high resolution satellite imagery has also impact in cartographic applications, such as in orthophoto production, especially for areas where the organization of photogrammetric surveying may be critical.
