GEO Satellite image processing: • Satellite image processing is one of the significant computational methods which finds applications in military, agriculture, natural disaster prevention, natural resources identification. • Satellite Image Processing is an important field in research and development and consists of the images of earth and satellites taken by the means of artificial satellites. Firstly, the photographs are taken in digital form and later are processed by the computers to extract the information. Statistical methods are applied to the digital images and after processing the various discrete surfaces are identified by analyzing the pixel values. The main steps of satellite image processing are: • Radiometric Calibration: Radiometric calibration is a general term used in science and technology for any set of calibration techniques in support of the measurement of electromagnetic radiation and atomic particle radiation. • Geometric Correction: Geometric correction is a key technology for remote sensing image processing and application. The usual sensor models are based on collinear conditional equations and establish a strict imaging geometry model. • Spectral filtering: Spectral filtering is most commonly used to either select or eliminate information from an image based on the wavelength of the information. This filtering is usually affected by passing the light through a glass or plastic window.

Advantages of Satellite image processing: • Global Coverage: Satellite images provide a comprehensive view of the Earth's surface, allowing us to monitor and analyze vast areas, including remote and inaccessible regions. • Timely and Regular Updates: Satellites capture images on a regular basis, providing up-to-date information for monitoring and analysis. This is particularly useful for tracking dynamic phenomena like weather patterns or land use changes. • Multi-Spectral Data: Satellites capture images in different wavelengths, allowing us to analyze various aspects of the Earth's surface, such as vegetation health, land cover classification, or oceanic conditions. • Historical Analysis: By analyzing satellite images over time, we can study long-term trends, identify patterns, and understand the evolution of natural phenomena or human activities. • Remote Sensing: Satellite images provide valuable insights into areas that are difficult to access, such as disaster-stricken regions or conflict zones, aiding in disaster response and humanitarian efforts. Disadvantages of satellite image processing: • Cost: Acquiring and processing satellite imagery can be expensive, especially for high- resolution images from commercial satellites. • Limitations: Satellite images can be affected by factors like cloud cover, atmospheric interference, and varying image quality, which may impact the accuracy and reliability of the data.
