Abstract— The mathematical models of the coverage areas in the Earth plane are suggested. These models correspond to images obtained from both video sources and an on-board radio station working in the forward hemisphere. The aircraft navigation parameters serve as input data to construct the above-stated areas. There are six parameters which describe spatial and angular aircraft coordinates. The geometry of the coverage areas is investigated for the two cases. At first the ideal conditions without errors of navigation parameters are considered. Then the conditions with different errors of navigation parameters are also considered. It is shown that it is necessary to enlarge the search area for the tasks of the cartographic information superimposition with the aerial video and radar images. This enlargement should be done taking into account the area of the ambiguity which is generated for the most unfavorable combination of the errors of navigation parameters.

Index Terms— the superimposition, radar images of the underlying surface, the area of the ambiguity.
