106. French Guiana Mapped Using ERS Radar Imagery by ERS satellites offers a precious source of geographic information.The production of radar image maps of french guiana, a territory of 100 000 sq.km, http://ceos.cnes.fr:8100/cdrom-00b2/ceos1/casestud/spot/carto/ang/ucr_guya.htm

F rench Guiana mapped using ERS radar imagery With near permanent cloud cover over most of the country, inaccessible terrain, and vast tracts of dense tropical forest, it has proved impossible to produce reliable topographic maps of central and southern French Guiana even at small scales, using either Spot satellite imagery or aerial photography as the main data source.Under conditions such as these - few existing maps, relatively uniform terrain, constant cloud cover - synthetic aperture radar (SAR) stands out as the ideal mapping tool. IGN, France's national survey organization, was thus asked to produce a complete coverage of French Guiana using SAR image maps acquired by ERS spacecraft. Advantages of mapping using SAR imagery Among the land-based applications of SAR imagery gathered by the European Space Agency's ERS spacecraft, topographic mapping remained one of the least significant until very recently indeed. With their natural penchant for uniform coverage and exhaustive data, professional cartographers felt that ERS SAR imagery left much to be desired. In particular, they felt it was less rich than Spot optical imagery for the extraction of such planimetric objects as roads, urban areas, land use, and so forth. Then, studies by IGN Espace found that an absolute location accuracy of 30 m (rms error) could be achieved, without local ground control points (GCPs), using physical modelling by block triangulation and precision orbit data. This result plus the conclusions reached by a pilot project encouraged a digital geography group (Cellule d'Étude en Géographie Numérique, CEGN) within the French Ministry of Defence to investigate further the mapping potential of ERS imagery. In particular, the CEGN asked IGN Espace to produce a complete coverage of French Guiana in the form of ten ERS satellite image maps at 1:200 000.
