Featured Paper by Aparajithan Sampath, Don Moe, Jon Christopherson and Gregory Stensaas The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has developed the first of a series of geometric test ranges over Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The purposes of these test ranges are for evaluating, validating and characterizing high resolution satellite and aerial images. The Sioux Falls test range uses accurate and standardized high resolution aerial orthophotos as a reference dataset to compare and characterize the geometric accuracy of satellite and aerial images. This paper first provides a report on the characteristics of the test range and the accuracy of the reference data. The paper goes on to show the use of automated image assessment methodology and results for the geometric assessment of GeoEye image using the reference imagery over the test range.
