31 Some remarks on geometric image resolution improvement Some remaining remarks ADS40 image examples Line #0951, h g 1500m Line #0905, h g 2500m PAN A PAN staggered sampl. pattern

32 Some remarks on forming virtual large format imagery Some remaining remarks Virtual large format images formed from individual smaller format images, via platform calibration (DMC) image stitching (UltracamD) Since calibration parameters are applied, images (theoretically) distortion free Results from empirical tests Typically most of the additional parameters were significant in the blocks, which indicate that images have some deformations.

33 Some remarks on colour Some remaining remarks PAN and MS spectral bands with different spatial resolutions Need for pan-sharpening to obtain high-resolution MS images

34 Some remarks on colours for medium format sensors Some remaining remarks Bayer pattern Colour interpolation Undersampling: full detail/colour not attained Blur filters to reduce aliasing artifacts Bayer pattern decomposition Parameters Height a.g. 550m Pixel size 8μm Focal length 28mm scale GSD (theo.) 16cm Colour red green blue Resolution 31cm 22cm 28cm
