Abstract
Spatial resolution can be defined using various criteria. In respect to the ground, it refers to the identifiable minimum distance between two adjacent ground objects or the minimum size of a ground object. For a remote sensor image, it means the size of the minimum object that can be distinguished in detail; or it reflects the minimum angle or the measurement of the linear distance between two objects that can be detected by the RS data set.
