POLANDS EXPERIENCE IN ACQUIRING REMOTE SENSING DATA WITHIN THE OPEN SKIES INTERNATIONAL TREATY

摘要

Open Skies Treaty /OS/ is one of a few international agreements giving base to a created cooperative security system. Each member country has the right to conduct a mission over the other countries and take airborne photos of selected objects. The main requirements of the Treaty concern the max resolving power that may be achieved by means of photographic (30cm), thermal (50cm), video (30cm) or radar (3m) sensors. The paper presents the Polish experience concerning photographic recorders application to the Treaty realization. The presented results of sensitometric and resolvometric study of films applied during OS missions enable determination of maximum resolving power for each of them as a function of exposure and processing..
