110 3 Non-geometry standards
2. Optical Camera Model
This model inc1udes frame cameras, video cameras, and SLR cameras (Single
Lens Reflex cameras).
3. Rapid Positioning Coordinate
This model covers all functional fit (non-rigorous) models. It is based on the OGC
Abstract Specification Topic 7: The Earth Imagery Case.
Platforms
The platform is the carrier for the mounted sensor and is of major concem for
mobile sensors. Common platforms inc1ude ground stations, automobiles, aircraft,
earth-orbiting satellites, ocean buoys, ships, and people. The SensorML distinguishes
between the following platform types:
Stationary platform
Attached platform
Satellite platform
Aircraft platform
Land vehic1e platform
Water vehic1e platform
3.3.4 Coverages (ISO 19123)
The term coverage has different meanings in the geomatics community. It is often
a term synonymous to a layer that is a thematic subdivision of a dataset. Historically,
layers were transparent foils that represented one colour of a printed map. Within the
ISO 19100 family ofstandards, coverages have an extended and more abstract meaning. Coverages are a concept considered to describe continuous and discrete spatial
and temporal features, and thus integrating concepts of the worlds of vector and
gridded data. The related standard is the ISO 19123 (Schema for coverage geometry
and functions).
The term coverage, in the sense ofthe ISO 19100 family, has been adopted from
the Open GIS Consortium.
Coverages may be discrete or continuous. An example of a discrete coverage is a
map showing cities and their population where an interpolation between them would
make no sense. An example of a continuous coverage is a temperature map that provides a temperature value for any position within the boundaries of a region.
Coverages may be 2-dimensional or 3-dimensional. Examples of 2-dimensional
coverages could be a soil map and a digital elevation model where the soil type and
the elevation respectively, are handled as attribute values. An example of a 3-
