Abstract
Many studies about the geometrical problem for single aircraft MSS data coverage have been made, and the effective orientation and restitution methods have been already developed by G. Konecny, et al.. Little, however, has been done in Japan in the way of investigating this problem fundamentally and clarifying difficulties in the practical analysis of MSS data. Therefore, in this report, the orientation problem for single aircraft MSS data coverage is analyzed on the Konecny's theory and then the restitution problem is treated. The authors introduced a simple restitution technique which was applicable to MSS data of hilly terrain.
The method introduced was tested with an experimental model (MSS imagery of Kyoto City) in order to investigate the accuracies attainable. In this paper, some of the findings are reported in the practical restitution of aircraft MSS data.
