HJ-1-A/B optical satellite image geometric correction

Small satellite constellation of environment and disaster’s monitoring and predicting (shorted for HJ-1) is not a mapping satellite, and its parameters of attitude and orbit cannot satisfy the requirement of geometric correction using strict imaging model. On the other hand, due to the 12000 CCD detectors and large overlay of multispectral payload named CCD carried by HJ-1 satellite, the error caused by CCD distortion cannot be ignored. Aiming at these problems of HJ-1, this paper proposes a strict orbit model algorithm based on Ground Control Point (GCP) and collinear condition equations. Through the robust estimation of parameters, this algorithm can effectively set up imaging geometric model of CCD, and satisfy the requirement of high precision geometric correction.
