Specially cultivated fields as test targets for satellite imagery
Abstract
In the summer 1992 and 1993 the Finnish Geodetic Institute carried out experiments to examine how useful spacially cultivated fields would be as test figures. The reason for these experiments was the requirement of cheap targets for testing the spatial resolution of satellite images. The results showed that it is possible to cultivate test figures and the spatial resolutions obtained were comparable with the results determined using other targets in images.
