State of Provenance Verification for Remote Sensing Imagery
This survey reviews how the origin, timing, and integrity of satellite and aerial imagery can be established, and where current provenance techniques fall short.
Purpose
A registry of imagery is only as trustworthy as the imagery's provenance -- where an image came from, when it was captured, and whether it has been altered.
Approach
A survey of the state of provenance verification for remote-sensing imagery, published as a note on this site.
Status
Published note on this site.
