Description


In contrast to the current trend for remote sensing to use smaller scale satellite imagery for large areas, we have been working with imagery with an average scale of 1:330; these images cover less than a pixel on current satellite scenes. The critical resolution of these images is 0.187 inches. Low-altitude1 large-scale imaging techniques extend the capability of remote sensing.
