title: Diffraction-limited resolution for geoscene imagery.
abstract: The existing criteria for diffraction-limited resolution are not applicable to the problem of imaging a geoscene, that is, a scene consisting of contiguous extended sources. Using tables of annular aperture energy distribution for an extended source, recently computed by Goldberg and McCulloch, such resolution criteria are calculated and presented in forms of tables for various obscuration ratios.
