Dear GLIMSters,</div>
<div class="elementToProof" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
At today's ASTER Science Team meeting, Hiroki Mizochi noted that for his application, he believed that ASTER image orthorectification in recent imagery (he showed an example form 2024) is experiencing errors. The errors appeared to be substantial. He linked
them possibly to the shifting orbit following movement out of the A-Train of orbits. Mizochi-san requested feedback about experiences and ideas about this. If this is a common or even general problem, then it would affect GLIMS work, unless people are doing
their own orthorectifications. </div>
<div class="elementToProof" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
On behalf of Mizochi-san, I solicit your thoughts about this possible problem.</div>
<div class="elementToProof" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
I am thinking that the volcanoes and glacier people and maybe others, maybe Mission Ops, would have picked this problem up if it was general. He says that their institute did the orthorectification, and I suspect that they might not be using the correct updated
drifting-orbit parameters. If their orthorectification procedure is flawed, then the only thing we need to worry is that we individually are doing the orthorectification correctly if you do "home-made" orthorectifications.</div>
<div class="elementToProof" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
Any thoughts?</div>
