Aerial and Satellite Mapping


CRS has developed extensive image processing toolsets for GIS and for aerial and satellite mapping. The toolsets’ diverse array of specialized activities allows the user to perform image acquisition, image interpretation, feature extraction, and coordinate registration. Some of the activities involve:

  • Sensor modeling
  • Scanner modeling
  • Geometric distortion effects
  • Image statistics
  • Contrast enhancement
  • Spatial transforms
  • Noise reduction
  • Automated GCP location
  • Orthorectification
  • Multi-image fusion
  • Classification

Various interpretation characteristics are evaluated:

  • Shape
  • Size
  • Pattern
  • Shadows
  • Tone
  • Texture
  • Site

Various image acquisition techniques are used. These range from video cameras to sophisticated scanners. Platforms can vary from unmanned WAVs to satellites. A GPS-based system is integrated.

We specialize in customizing solutions to specific imaging, image analysis, GIS, or related problems.
