Abstract

There are an increasing number of projects that use NOAA-AVHRR data for land applications, many of which are described in subsequent chapters. All of the projects which have a mapping and monitoring component require accurate image geometric correction to ensure the quantity that they measure is an actual indicator of a land cover characteristic or its change, and not an artefact of image to image mis-registration. It is therefore increasingly important to make the geometric correction as precise as possible, and also to know the likely limits of the accuracy of the correction, in order to interpret the results in a meaningful way.
