What is BS EN 17030 - Earth observation image processing about?
Earth Observing System Data and Information System data products are processed at various levels. BS EN 17030 discusses standards for Earth observation image processing levels.
BS EN 17030 specifies the definition of the different processing steps (levels) of images coming from Earth observation systems observing the surface of the Earth regarding the different sensor sources of the origin data.
BS EN 17030 applies to image products generated from the following types of sensors: electro-optical (including infrared and hyperspectral) and SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar).
Who is BS EN 17030 - Earth observation image processing for?
BS EN 17030 on Earth observation image processing levels is useful for:
- Space observatories
- Designers of optical telescopes
- Astronomers
- Physicists
- Institutions involved in earth observations
- Earth Observation specialists and geospatial analysts
- Space agencies
- Space engineers
- Research and development teams
Why should you use BS EN 17030 - Earth observation image processing?
Earth observation is the gathering of information about planet Earth's physical, chemical and biological systems via remote sensing technologies, usually involving satellites carrying imaging devices. Earth observation is used to monitor and assess the status of, and changes in, the natural and manmade environment.
BS EN 17030 provides you with symbols used for the different image levels. BS EN 17030 also describes the scheme of image levels.
BS EN 17030 allows identifying the information depth and the used auxiliary data/information. Furthermore, it allows the comprehension of image data from different sources and gives hints about information compatibility.
