Abstract
Abstract. As many observation data providers are delivering spaceborne optical images with a resolution close to airborne sources, users are expecting the same level of geolocation accuracy. Unfortunately, locating the line of sight of a camera on the ground from, at least, 500km is still a challenge. It requires a precise knowledge of the camera absolute orientation beyond current technology. Spaceborne SAR images do not suffer from this problem as the location accuracy depends only on the antenna position and speed. An operational approach is presented exploiting the geometric stability of SAR sensors to improve the location accuracy of optical images. It is based on the ability to find correspondences between overlapping SAR and optical images. The refinement of camera orientations is then achieved through photogrammetric (almost) classical techniques. A medium scale validation campaign conducted across France demonstrated an absolute horizontal geolocation accuracy of 1.5m (CE90).
The paper examines the feasibility of using a photogrammetric model to implement high-resolution modes in modern spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems. Implementing high-resolution SAR modes requires accounting for the relative spatial geometry between the spacecraft and the ground target, as well as orbita...

Sonars generate a significant amount of noise. With the advent of new technology capable of producing full 3D point clouds, the noise is amplified in sparse point clouds, making it challenging to recognize features for navigation, recognition, or reconstruction. To address this challenge, we propose using two different...

Insufficient three-dimensional (3D) geolocation accuracy of interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) scatterers on dikes often hampers the distinction between the dike crest and slopes. This limitation hinders effective monitoring and interpretation of deformation associated with different dike structures using...

Radars improve the sensing robustness of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) by operating under poor lighting and weather conditions and seeing through occlusions, such as vegetation. However, they suffer from poor angular resolution, which can be addressed using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) algorithms. The state-of-the-...
