• ISO/TS 19101-2:2008 Geographic information - Reference model - Part 2: Imagery

  ISO 19101 defines a reference model for standardization in the field of geographic imagery processing. This reference model identifies the scope of the standardization activity being undertaken and the context in which it takes place. The reference model includes gridded data with an emphasis on imagery.

• ISO/TS 19130-2:2014 Geographic information - Imagery sensor models for geopositioning - Part 2: SAR, InSAR, lidar and sonar

  ISO/TS 19130-2:2014 supports exploitation of remotely sensed images. It specifies the sensor models and metadata for geopositioning images remotely sensed by Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR), LIght Detection And Ranging (lidar), and SOund Navigation And Ranging (sonar) sensors. The specification also defines the metadata needed for the aerial triangulation of airborne and spaceborne images.

• USGS: LiDAR Base Specification

  Specifications that define the minimum parameters for acquiring and procuring light detection and ranging (lidar) data, including: specifications for raw point cloud (las format) data stored in swaths, classified point cloud (las format) data stored in tiles, gridded DEM derivative products stored in tiles, and breakline information stored as PolyLines or PolyAreas. The NGP Lidar Base Specification Version 1.0 is the official publication of what is widely known as "the v13 Spec.".

• EPSG Geodetic Parameter Dataset

  The IOGP’s EPSG Geodetic Parameter Dataset is a collection of definitions of coordinate reference systems and coordinate transformations which may be global, regional, national or local in application.
