Abstract in English
This study aims is to analyze the effect of spatial accuracy of the control points on the
images geometric correction accuracy, and this is done by applying tests on the same
image (IKONOS), where polynomial transformations were applied using sets of control
points, each with absolute accuracy different from the other. These points were
extrapolated from a 1/1000 topographic map and from a georeferenced MOMS satellite
image with geometric accuracy of 2m and measured by GPS. The study showed that it is
possible to obtain the most accurate geometric correction by using control points with
absolute accuracy close to the spatial resolution of the image. It also showed that the use of
more precise control points would not ameliorate the accuracy of the geometric correction,
because the measurement of these points on the image is limited by its spatial resolution.
