<strong>Report</strong><br />

better than 0.5 SSD at SSP (threshold) / 0.25 SSD at SSP (goal), with a confidence level of 99.73%<br />

over each image. This requirement shall be fulfilled for any images, where land areas are included<br />

(presence of GCP). For images which contain only water areas (no GCP), the requirement can be<br />

relaxed. For these cases, additional AOCS requirements have to be established, assuring a certain<br />

knowledge drift stability between two marine images (see pointing requirements table below).<br />

The absolute geolocation knowledge requirement assures also the image-to-image registration<br />

(knowledge) performance, which is twice (worst case) the absolute geolocation knowledge (1 SSD at<br />

SSP (threshold) and 0.5 SSD at SSP (goal) for a sample of two consecutive images).<br />

The inter-channel co-registration requirement (knowledge accuracy) is 0.3 px (99.73%) between<br />

each two channels (referring to pixel size of channel with worse resolution).<br />

Pointing Requirements<br />

Following pointing requirements have been derived and established for Geo-Oculus:<br />

• Pointing coverage – European area shall be covered nominally, with the potential to cover<br />

the whole Earth disc;<br />

• APE – to acquire a coverage without gaps for the marine applications;<br />

• RPE over integration time – to assure high resolution for the panchro channel;<br />

• PDE over integration time – to limit image post-integration effort;<br />

• PDE for mosaic imaging – to have products without gaps;<br />

• PDE knowledge (reference to images with landmarks) – for marine images without coastline.<br />

Timing Requirements<br />

The timing requirements can be found in detail in RD [3]. Following requirements have been defined:<br />

• Acquisition Delay;<br />

• Timeliness;<br />

• Product Acquisition Time;<br />

• Temporal Co-registration.<br />

Sensing and Instrument Requirements<br />

A set of sensing and instrument requirements have been established for Geo-Oculus, documented<br />

within RD [3]. They are also discussed within the Instrument section of this document. Most of these<br />

requirements are purely instrument related, therefore they are not discussed in detail within this<br />

system chapter. What should be mentioned, is that several system pointing requirements can be<br />

derived from these instrument requirements, which has then be traded on system level (see next<br />

chapter). Following requirements have been established:<br />

• Radiometric Requirements;<br />

• Spectral Accuracy;<br />

• Modulation Transfer Function (MTF);<br />

• Polarisation.<br />
