| Description | The author has identified the following significant results. Experimentation was conducted to evaluate the performance of the Sequential Similarity Detection Algorithm (SSDA) to detect and locate ground central points (GCP) automatically using MSS data. Recent experiments with ERTS data having a temporal separation of from 17 to 72 days between the search area and the GCP have shown that the algorithm can find the GCP's and with an overall probability of 88%. Band 5 appears to give the best results. A modified reseau detection algorithm has been applied to 2 RBV scenes separated by a 12 day period. The algorithm correctly located all 486 reseaus. No false reseaus were located in a companion experiment. Changes in apparent reseau position, due to camera characteristics, were never greater than 3 picture elements in either axis. The positional error of a geometrically corrected image has been predicted by the use of an APL program. The maximum deviation of the GCP's from true UTM coordinate position was computed to be 190 meters. The RMS positional error of all GCP's was 106 meters. Further refinement of the algorithm is expected to reduce the errors. |
