ACCURACY PREDICTION FOR THE ORTHOPHOTO MAPPING PROCESS

The question of predicting accuracies in orthophoto products is not a clear-cut problem in error propagation. When one investigates the problem, he finds that there are several interconnecting factors all of which influence the accuracy of the final product. The non-normal probability density functions of these various factors, and the fact that, for prediction of output accuracies, a multivariate density function must be determined which is grossly non-normal, dictate that the solution be determined numerically. This numerical accuracy prediction procedure for orthophoto map products is the topic of this paper.
