Spaceborne mapping
Latitude Geosystems has developped an excellency knowldege trough imagery processing technics to achieve very accurate spaceborne mapping projects. These are commonly underdaken while considering high end mapping standards recognized world-wide.We distinguish several products famillies and different ways to reach proven accuracy standards depending on specific application circumstances, pricing and degree of availability.
Our standards , testing procedures enabled to setup several map standards using various satellite platforms in passive (optical) or active remote sensing. We achieved to setup several optical mapping standards using each time best suited spaceborne solutions with major satellite constellations.
- Ikonos, Quickbird
- ERS 1 & 2, ENVISAT ASAR, RADARSAT 1
Moreover we developped a unique specific sensor rigorous block adjustment methodology based on major geocentric geodetic systems without any ground controls. That may allow to map anywhere, anytime without any restrictions at proven degree of planimetric accuracy. Major applications are:
- Ice motion monitoring (radar)
- Oil spill monitoring (radar)
- ship observation (radar/optical)
- Battle and crisis monitoring
- natural hazards assessment
- low cost remote location mapping
