Mosaicing techniques for spaceborne optical high resolution imaging systems

Mosaicing processing techniques can be used to produce high resolution large swath width images from the raw images acquired by satellite imaging system. The purpose of mosaicing is to create, from a set of contiguous images, a single coherent and homogeneous image in terms of geometric and radiometric criteria. The choice of geometric projection frame for the mosaic is crucial as it affects the type of mosaic image provided to the customer, the required data and its accuracy. The agility of the new platform is high enough to enable the production of large swath mosaics in stereoscopic acquisition mode.
