Development of high-resolution satellite ground processing system

3d Processing of High-resolution Satellite Images

High-resolution satellite images at sub-5m footprint are becoming increasingly available to the earth observation community and their respective clients. The related cameras are all using linear array CCD technology for image sensing. The possibility and need for accurate 3D object reconstruction requires a sophisticated camera model, being able to deal with such sensor geometry. We have recent...

Geometrical Processing of Quickbird High Resolution Satellite Data

The full commercial availability of very high resolution satellite data has disclosed a large number of new opportunities for the operative use of the Earth Observation data. It is now possible to carry out, with EO data, many applications that in the recent past were exclusive to airborne and on site surveys. One key requirement for almost all the applications is the geometric accuracy of the ...

Geometric Modelling and Photogrammetric Processing of High- Resolution Satellite Imagery

The latest generation of high-resolution commercial imaging satellites, such as IKONOS and QuickBird, has opened a new era of earth observation and digital mapping. This paper presents the geometric modeling principles and photogrammetric processing methods involved in high-precision mapping using stereo IKONOS and QuickBird images. First, the imaging geometry and systematic errors in the Ratio...

Rigorous Photogrammetric Processing of High Resolution Satellite Imagery

This paper deals with investigations on the geometric reconstruction and sensor calibration of satellite–based optical imaging systems using linear arrays in pushbroom mode, like SPOT, IRS–1C and MOMS–2P/PRIRODA. The geometric model of the sensor is based on an extension of a SPOT model developed by V. Kratky. This geometric solution combines the principle of rigorous photogrammetric bundle for...
