New sensors benchmark report on WorldView-4 : geometric benchmarking over Maussane test site for CAP purposes

Imagery collected by recently launched WorldView-4 satellite can be potentially used in The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) image acquisition Campaign. The qualification and certificate is conducted by performing benchmarking tests, i.e. it has to be checked whether planimetric accuracy of produced ortho imagery does not exceed certain values regulated by JRC. Therefore, benchmarking tests were carried out on three WorldView-4 imagery collected in March and April 2017. This report (together with [xix]) describes in details how the tests were performed i.e. auxiliary data used, methodology and workflow as well as outcome from the Internal Quality Control. However, to make the tests objective, the ortho imagery have been handed to JRC for External Quality Control which is a base for certification of the sensor.
