Overview
EN 17030:2018 is a European Standard developed by CEN that defines the different image processing levels used in Earth observation systems. It provides a structured framework to classify the stages of image processing applied to Earth observation data captured by various sensor types. This standard applies primarily to images produced by:
- Electro-optical sensors (including infrared and hyperspectral imaging)
- Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) sensors
By establishing clear definitions of processing levels, EN 17030:2018 facilitates enhanced understanding, compatibility, and interoperability of image products from multiple Earth observation sources.
Key Topics
- Image Processing Levels: The standard defines stages of processing, ranging from raw sensor data (Level 0) to fully processed image products with application-specific transformations (Level 2 and beyond).
- Level 0 Data: Unprocessed data streams directly from the sensor.
- Level 1 Products: Images without customer-specific transformations but may be geo-referenced or calibrated. These are two-dimensional matrices representing physical space data with geometry and radiometry details.
- Level 2 Products: Images with specific transformations and presentations tailored to applications or customers.
- Geometrical Information: Includes pixel representation in sensor-specific coordinates, geo-referencing transformation rules, and Earth-related coordinate systems.
- Radiometrical Information: Differentiates between calibrated and uncalibrated data, with calibration linked either to sensor references or Earth-based references.
- Auxiliary Data and Metadata: The standard emphasizes providing necessary auxiliary data such as calibration info, transformation rules, and Earth model details for accurate interpretation.
- Information Compatibility: Supports comparing and integrating Earth observation data from different sensors and sources by clarifying information depth and processing steps.
Applications
- Earth Observation and Remote Sensing: Standardizing the levels of image processing improves the reliability and interoperability of remote sensing data used by researchers, government agencies, and private sector organizations.
- Environmental Monitoring: Accurate calibration and geo-referencing of images essential for tracking climate change, deforestation, urban development, and natural disasters.
- Agriculture and Forestry: Multi-spectral and hyperspectral image analysis helps in crop health monitoring and forest management using standardized data processing levels.
- Defense and Security: SAR image products processed under standard guidelines ensure consistent quality for surveillance and reconnaissance activities.
- GIS Integration: Geo-referenced images following EN 17030:2018 processing levels can seamlessly integrate with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for spatial analysis and mapping.
