ORTHO-RECTIFICATION OF HJ-1A/1B MULTI-SPECTRAL IMAGE BASED ON THE GCP IMAGE DATABASE

Abstract

Abstract. HJ satellite is the abbreviation of the Small Satellite Constellation of Environment and Disaster Monitoring and Forecasting in China, which plays a very important role in forecasting and monitoring the environment problems and natural disasters. The ortho-rectification of HJ images aided by GCP (Ground Control Point) image database is presented in this paper. The GCP image database is constructed from historical LandSat-TM images and the GCP chip consists of image and geographic attribute information. Then auto-searching and matching algorithm is introduced and mis-matching elimination method is presented. The imaging model based on collinearity equation and the polynomial description of the attitude and position of scanning line is utilized for ortho-rectification. Four scene images are experimented and compared, and the result demonstrated the feasibility and high efficiency of the whole work flow.
