| Abstract: |
The main objective of this study is to estimate
the errors in the measurement of lengths of
missiles or satellite launch vehicles from digital
images available in the public domain when the
scale or the pixel sizes of the images are not
known.
Under the International Strategic and Security
Studies Programme (ISSP) of the National
Institute of Advanced Studies (NIAS),
assessments of China’s Ballistic and Cruise
missiles as well as Pakistan’s missiles have been
made earlier. In those studies the dimensions of
missiles were measured using ENVI 3.5 image
processing software. Using these measured
dimensions the propellant mass and the lift off
mass were estimated using available engineering
data and knowledge. This derived data set from
the measurements was used to run typical
trajectory profiles to estimate the ranges of the
missiles. |
