Parametric Geocoding & Orthorectification for Airborne Optical Scanner Data
PARGE® is the orthorectification and direct geocoding software for airborne optical scanner data. It performs an ortho-rectification of line scanner imagery using a digital elevation model on the basis of high precision flight parameters such as GPS position and attitude angles. Using accurate digital elevation models and optional ground control points, sub-pixel geometric accuracy is achieved. The program is suited for the correction of all kinds of airborne scanner imagery and is optimized for airborne hyperspectral instruments. Directly supported sensors are: NEO HYSPEX and Mjolnir, Specim AISA Fenix/AFX-10/AFX-17, Itres CASI/SASI/TASI, Hyvista HyMap, Resonon Pika, Corning Shark, Headwall Hyperspec, and more.
