Evaluation of the Geopositioning Accuracy of QuickBird Imagery
نویسندگان
چکیده
QuickBird satellite imagery, provided by DigitalGlobe Inc., has the highest resolution, among the satellite imaging systems that are commercially available. The QuickBird imaging system simultaneously collects 67-72 centimeter resolution stereo panchromatic and 2.44-2.88 meter resolution multispectral images. In this research, a QuickBird stereo pair of basic imagery product that was taken over Tampa Bay, FL, was acquired and its geopositioning accuracy evaluated based on Rational Function (RF) models.

3d Geopositioning Accuracy Analysis Based on Integration of Quickbird and Ikonos Imagery
Stereo high-resolution satellite imagery, such as Space Imaging’s IKONOS (1 m resolution) and DigitalGlobe’s QuickBird (submeter resolution), can provide accurate three-dimensional (3D) mapping products. Based on the rational function model, this study investigated the integration of IKONOS and QuickBird images. One pair of stereo IKONOS images and one pair of stereo QuickBird images, collected...

متن کاملSENSOR ORIENTATION FOR HIGH-RESOLUTION SATELLITE IMAGERY: FURTHER INSIGHTS INTO BIAS-COMPENSATED RPCs
As high-resolution satellite imagery (HRSI) attracts usage in a broader range of mapping and GIS applications, so the demand for higher 3D accuracy increases. One of the notable recent innovations in sensor orientation modelling for HRSI has been bias compensated RPC bundle adjustment, which has shown that geopositioning to high accuracy can be achieved with minimal ground control; indeed, only...
