Abstract :
Japanese Earth Resources Satellite-1 (JERS-1) was launched in Feb. 1992. It carries two sensors: Optical Sensor (OPS) and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and is now gathering data. The performance of the OPS data is investigated in the study. A performance test is carried out using the following items: image quality, spatial resolution, band registration accuracy, geographic position accuracy of tick marks information, noise level and computation accuracy of 3 dimensional coordinates by OPS stereo data. The images of the VNIR hands are generally good, but images of the SWIR bands are not so clear compared with VNIR. The results of the performance test of the other items are also described
