. Very high resolution optical satellites are imaging the object space by a combination of CCD-lines in one direction and by time, speed and satellite rotation in the other direction. The combination of the CCD-lines usually is known by pre-calibration. Remaining errors of the pre-calibration, also slightly depending upon the satellite movement and rotation, with few exceptions are usually small up to negligible. This may not be the case for the image component in the scan direction and the alignment of the line combinations - they are controlled by giros and stellar cameras. Stellar cameras are compensating giro drifts, but their recording frequency is limited as well as in general the accuracy of the satellite view direction. In addition the satellites may show a jitter caused by the fast rotation from one pointed area to another. Not all giros are able to record the jitter frequency. A limited accuracy of the view direction is causing systematic image errors in relation to the used mathematical model of geometric reconstruction. The systematic image errors can be determined theoretically by image orientation based on ground control points (GCPs), but usually not a satisfying number and distribution of GCPs is available. Another possibility is the analysis of the intersection of corresponding rays in a stereo model and an analysis of generated height models against reference height models. Here also free of charge available height models as the SRTM Digital Surface Model (DSM) or AW3D30 can be used. Several very high resolution satellite cameras have been analyzed; this includes images from WorldView-2, WorldView-4, Kompsat-3, Kompsat-1, Pleiades, Cartosat-1, ZY3, OrbView-3, QuickBird, IKONOS, ASTER, IRS-1C, SPOT, SPOT-5 HRS, EROS-B, IKONOS, QuickBird, OrbView and GeoEye but only results of the today more important satellites are shown in detail. For few satellites the systematic image errors can be ignored, but others require a correction which may be just a levelling of the DSM but also a higher degree of deformation up to a compensation of the satellite jitter effect. The used method cannot be named as calibration due to variation from image to image, only the character and size of deformation is typical for the used special optical satellite, but it depends also upon the operating conditions as fast satellite rotation. Due to the very high number of reference points in a DSM the determination of systematic image errors is independent upon random errors and also high frequent jitter can be determined with a standard deviation down to 0.1 ground sampling distance (GSD) or even better.
