NGA has been involved with the Community Sensor Model (CSM) Application
Programming Interface (API) and in providing guidance for its future; and
now its paradigm is shifting from the concept of many specific sensor
models to a few generic sensor models by family. The generic model concept
is enabled by establishing standards for upstream data providers to supply
metadata with their image products. NGA has designed a set of six "Common
Sensor" (CS) metadata components that will soon become part of the NITF
standard and facilitate generalization of all EO/IR sensor models whether
they are line scanners or framers, and whether they are panchromatic, MSI,
or HSI. Framers can collect a still frame, or a sequence of frames captured
in either a step-stare or spotlight mode to support wide area collection or
motion imagery collection, respectively. An "A" version of the CS TREs had
been designed several years ago, but is inadequate in several areas that
will be accommodated by the "B" version; e.g. the "A" version only applies
to line scanners and does not contain any mechanism to store error
covariance (uncertainty) information. So, the "B" version will support
exploitation of emerging commercial imaging systems like Skybox which can
collect motion imagery. The photogrammetry and error modeling aspects of
this new generic sensor model and metadata structure will be presented in a
50 minute briefing followed by 10 minutes for questions.

Approved for public release under case number 15-111
