Abstract :
The CNES (the French Space Agency) has specified and developed a fully automatic mosaicing processing unit, in order to generate satellite image mosaics under operational conditions. This tool, called SIGMA, can automatically put each input image in a common geometry, homogenize the radiometry, and generate orthomosaics using stitching lines.
