Previously problems were encountered (significant geometric errors) with orthorectification of IKONOS 2004 imagery with DGPS GCPs collected by Dr Jenny Scott. The current orthorectification is considered more accurate given the high absolute spatial accuracy of WorldView-2 (CE90 = 3.5 m) and the more detailed TerraSAR-X DEM of Heard Island. The resulting image is considered a base image for subsequent geometric processing and co-registration of other images (e.g. IKONOS image acquired in 2004 for change detection).
