Abstract: The adverse effects of various sources of error present in satellite imaging when determining ground location information are reduced to provide more accurate ground location information for imagery, thereby rendering the information more useful for various entities utilizing the images. The determination of ground location coordinates associated with one or more pixels of an image acquired by an imaging system aboard a satellite or other remote platform includes obtaining a first earth image associated with a first earth view, obtaining a second earth image associated with a second earth view, the second earth image not overlapping the first earth image, and using known location information associated with the first earth image to determine location information associated with the second earth image.

Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus for remote sensing is disclosed. The system method, and apparatus can capture raw image data from outer space at a first resolution and provide multiple resolution images from this raw image data without requiring multiple-resolution image data to be captured. The raw image data is utilized to provide both a high resolution image directly from the data and also aggregates the raw image data to provide a lower resolution image. The system, method, and apparatus can further utilize a red edge band of the near infrared band for remote sensing.
