A Method for Fast Resampling of Remote Sensing Imagery

Abstract

A method for fast resampling of remote sensing imagery has been developed based on the nature of the geometric distortion of raw imagery. The method was applied to resample SeaStar SeaWiFS and NOAA AVHRR images. Examples of the resampling of SeaStar SeaWiFS images are presented by using the results have shown that the resampling using the method suggested in this paper is much faster than other resampling methods. A weighted neighbour intensity interpolation has also been proposed. The quality of the resampled images is improved. The weighted neighbour intensity interpolation. Advantages of the weighted neighboun intensity interpolation over the nearest-neighbour and bilinear intensity interpolations have been discussed.
