5. CONCLUSIONS
The high resolution satellite scenes of Resurs DK-1 are the well
source image data for generation of orthoimages in the 1:10,000
scales. The range of this correction is the function of the used
methodology, which take into account the rigorous
mathematical sensor model influence and RPC coefficients as
well as the number and distribution of control points. The
transformation of pixels matrix to ground coordinate system is
possible to perform with accuracy better than half pixel for each
image registered by Resurs DK-1 or Ikonos satellite systems.
For the Resurs DK-1 images these accuracy is 0.5 m. The
terrain denivelation is necessary to take into account in the
rectification process of Resurs DK-1 through involvement to
this process of Digital Elevation Model with accuracy better
than 4 m. On the basis of the Resurs DK-1 and Ikonos
panchromatic scenes the orthoimages can be generated which
accuracy corresponds to accuracy of topographic maps in scales
from 1:5,000 to 1:10,000 as well as in smaller scales. However,
for this range of orthophotomaps scale only geometric standards
obligatory in Poland is accomplished but their interpretability
refer to 1:10,000 scales only. Taking into account the economic
aspect it should affirm that the Russian very high resolution
satellite images are competitive in the relation to images of
Ikonos satellite system and establish the new source data for
generating of the basic photogrammetric products.
