Abstract

Information available from ephemeris data, combined with a few ground control points, is used to carry out the geometric combination of NOAA, AVHRR, and SPOT images by means of orbital models for each satellite. The observation conditions are reconstructed and the areas observed in common determined in the SPOT image pixels and each low-resolution AVHRR pixel. The determination of effective parameters, at low spatial resolution, from high-spatial-resolution data takes into account overlapping effects between adjacent pixels, and pixel size and shape variations with viewing angle for AVHRR data. The method is applied to surface temperature mapping of a selected heterogeneous area by incorporating NOAA AVHRR thermal data in a high-spatial-resolution emissivity map derived from SPOT data. >
