Abstract
A set of input images from satellites (or other remote sensors) can be orthorectified and stitched together to create a mosaic. If the resulting mosaic is not of suitable quality, the input images can be adjusted and the processes of orthorectifying and creating the mosaic can be repeated. However, orthorectifying and creating the mosaic uses a large amount of computational resources and takes a lot of time. Therefore, performing numerous iterations is expensive and sometimes not practical. To overcome these issues, it is proposed to generate an indication of accuracy of the resulting mosaic prior to orthorectifying and creating the mosaic by accessing a set of points in the plurality of input images, projecting the points to a model, determining residuals for the projected points, and generating the indication of accuracy of the orthorectified mosaic based on the determined residuals.
