4. CONCLUSIONS
Based on the experiment and analysis of CARTOSAT-1 stereo
pair conducted in this paper, it is concluded that the planimetry
and height accuracy of CARTOSAT-1 stereo pair could reach
5-meter, which meets the national 1:50,000 topographic maps
survey specifications.
The two camera of CARTOSAT-1 has two independent sets of
imaging system, which could work on orbit synchronously and
compose continuous stereo swath. And the swath could reach
several thousands kilometers, which guarantee data acquisition
in large-scale surveying projects. So further research on large-
scale triangulation and survey of CARTOSAT-1 will have great
practical value.
