Pushbroom data:
LPS automatically reads the header information to determine the external
sensor model information
Side incidence angle and ground resolution information
Ground Resolution
Incidence Angle
Pushbroom Perspective Centers
Data is collected along a scan line, each scan line has it's own
perspective center
The larger the polynomial order, the greater the number of GCPs
required to solve the triangulation solution
