Abstract

In remote sensing, one is often interested in not only ascertaining the presence of certain resources or objects of interest, but also in determining their locations. Ground registration involves locating the target in sensor coordinates and performing a series of coordinate transformations to convert this location to earth coordinates. One application of this would be in preparing a scaled map showing the precise locations of the resources/objects of interest. To improve ground registration accuracy one can combine multiple looks from a single sensor and/or looks from multiple sensors. One advantage in utilizing multiple sensors is that one can fuse the measurements in such a way as to exploit the best characteristics of each sensor. This paper is applied to vehicular mounted remote sensing and presents the benefits obtained when combining radar and IR as a means of determining ground coordinates of the objects of interest.
