Abstract

12 During the past two years the company LH Systems and the German Aerospace Center (DLR) have developed the commercial airborne digital sensor ADS40 based on the three-line principle. By assembling additional CCD lines into the same focal plane, the sensor is capable of generating a number of color images. In the first part, the sensor system itself is introduced shortly. The main concept and the key features are described and an overview of the data processing scheme is given. After that, we will focus on the results of test flights. The emphasis is placed on the properties of the overall system including the sensor itself, platform, airplane, and inertial measurement unit. The effect of using staggered CCD lines is discussed. Flights over well known test areas are used to prove the accuracy of derived data products, DEMs, color images, and ortho-images. Differences in data processing methods are pointed out in comparison to sensor systems based on CCD matrices or film.
