Abstract

The ground-to-image relationship of an IKONOS image is described by its nominal RPC camera geometry supplemented with bias and drift parameters. Experimental data shows that the RMS bias is 4-meters and the RMS drift is 50 PPM. Residual errors after bias and drift correction are 0.5 meters RMS. A mathematical model to estimate ground coordinates from block-adjusted imagery is developed. Experimental results for this point measurement process will be presented at the conference. 1.
