CORONA Satellite Imagery-based Digital Archaeological Atlas of the Near East | Center for Advanced Spatial Technologies

An update on the CORONA Atlas of the Near East initiative.

January 2011 Project Update – Approximately 1200 images have had the necessary ground control information collected and readied for final processing. Of these over 200 are ready for publication – as orthorectified images – through an ArcGIS Imager Server service.  This service will enable a variety of access methods including a WMS, KML files for viewing Google Earth, ArcGIS.com and a dedicated mapping website. Each image will be available in the National Imagery Transformation Format (NITF) with embedded RPC information enabling a full range of photogrammetric processing including DEM generation from overlapping images, 3D feature mensuration and orthorectification against any available DEM. The RPC coefficients can also be adjusted against user-supplied ground control to the position and orientation properties of the image before orthorectification.
