Abstract
The accuracy of attitude observation is always the main contributor to geometric performance of earth observation satellites (EOSs). Given the ground process requirement, linear pushbroom and asynchronous imaging sensors are widely used in EOSs, such as multispectral sensor with sequential line arrays, three-line array sensor in stereo mapping satellite, panchromatic sensor with multiple non-collinear CCD chip in some high-resolution optical satellite. By using the images of those sensors, this paper proposes a method, which is based on image registration approach, rigorous forward intersection and bundle adjustment technology, to refine attitude data of satellite for improving geometric performance of images. Preliminary experiments, which used multi-sensors asynchronous images of Chinese Mapping Satellite-1-02, demonstrate that the proposed method is capable of improving internally coincident precision of attitude data without ground control points. In particular, relative positioning accuracy of images can be directly improved, and absolute positioning accuracy can consequently be improved via additionally using a few GCPs in the stripe image data.
