Georegistration of Earth Observing-1 (EO-1) data using Global Land Survey (GLS) maps

Abstract

The method presented in this paper utilizes Global Land Survey (GLS) maps to register Earth Observing-1 (EO-1) data, either using entire scenes or utilizing chips extracted from the GLS maps. The automated registration algorithm is based on the optimization of wavelet or wavelet-like features extracted from both reference and input image data. After testing the method on several ALI scenes, results and conclusions are presented.
