MAIN MAP [10 records]

Record 1 2006-11-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Remote Sensing
CONT

"Precision Map Image" products have even greater positional accuracy than "Map Image" products. Ground Control Points (GCPs) as well as a map projection are used to spatially align the image. To order a "Precision Map Image" product, ground control points from a map or provided through Global Positional Satellite (GPS) technology are required. To further enhance the positional accuracy of the image, Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) can be used to correct terrain distortions. A DEM at sufficient detail will be needed to provide ortho-correction services.

OBS

Data from all single beam modes can be processed to this product (i.e., all but ScanSAR beam modes). "Precision Map Image" products are offered as 8-bit or 16-bit data products.

OBS

Three main categories of data products are available-RAW Data, Path-Oriented and "Map-Oriented" products. Precision Map Image processing level belongs to the "Map-Oriented" products.

OBS

"Precision Map Image" product: term officially approved by the RADARSAT-2 Terminology Approval Group (RTAG).

Subject field(s)
  • Remote Sensing
OBS

[The] "Map Image" product is oriented with "north up" and is corrected to a user-requested map projection. The positional accuracy of "Map Image" processing depends on the terrain relief and the beam mode. Data from all beam modes, with the exception of ScanSAR can be processed to this product.

OBS

Three main categories of data products are available-"RAW Data", "Path-Oriented" and "Map-Oriented" products. "Map Image" processing level belongs to the "Map-Oriented" products.

Subject field(s)
  • Remote Sensing
  • Spacecraft
CONT

The satellite performances remain very good and similar to those of ERS-1, making possible the unique nine-month ERS-1/ERS-2 Tandem Operation phase, which started in September. The main objective is to perform interferometric imaging of the land surface on a global basis leading to, among other important goals, a quasi-global digital terrain map.

Subject field(s)
  • Helicopters (Military)
  • Aeroindustry
CONT

The first helicopter simulators used a rotor map technique which calculated the total thrust vector of the main rotor on the basis of a series of stored steady states... The simulator was therefore quite realistic in steady flight states, but... [not] in transient condition... in order to achieve realism, the main rotor had to be simulated blade by blade throughout every rotation(blade element modelling), so that factors like interference and cross-coupling could be taken into account.
