Students, using tools available in LPS, work through the process of creating orthos from commercial satellite imagery. Using a variety of sensor models a photogrammetric workflow is followed: creating a blockfile; adding RPC information; collecting ground control; RPC refinement; creating orthos or orthomosaics. Following the creation of an output students learn how to check and analyze the accuracy of their final product. (2 day class)

 Learn to:

• Set LPS preferences for satellite image processing
• Create a blockfile with commercial satellite imagery
• Complete Internal and External Orientation: with or without RPCs
• Collect GCPs using the Stereo Point Measurement Tool
• Auto collect Tie Points
• Add Check Points
• Refine RPCs and Triangulate
• Complete a workflow with no GCPs
• Perform Rigorous Pushbroom Refinement
• Create Orthos and Orthomosaics
