English

Subject field(s)
  • Remote Sensing
DEF

The use of a uniform system of rectilinear lines superimposed on aerial photographs, mosaics, maps, charts, and other representations of the Earth's surface.

CONT

RADARSAT-2 provides valuable new information for the production of national and regional maps. In addition, images produced by RADARSAT-2 may be combined with other sources of data for cartographic mapping, although in areas under frequent cloud cover, radar satellites provide the only source of information. Since many cartographic products are now analysed within geographic information systems (GIS), RADARSAT-2 will provide accurate georeferenced images that can be easily integrated in these mapping systems.
