Abstract

Abstract: GF-14 is one of the highest mapping accuracy satellites in China, and is adopted advanced multi-load integrated for earth observation technology, which is mainly used for high accuracy location and mapping 1∶10 000 geographic information products on a global wide. In this paper, the payload, ground processing flow and its performance were briefly introduced, then the geometric performance of the satellite images was evaluated using different fields including domestic and foreign areas. As a result, the location accuracy without ground control points (GCPs) of single strip can reach 1.8 m in horizontal and 0.80 m in vertical elevation in domestic areas and 1.76 m in horizontal and 0.82 m in vertical elevation in foreign areas, which can reach the best known level in international optical photogrammetry on location accuracy without GCPs.

Key words: satellite photogrammetry, bundle adjustment, laser rangefinder, location accuracy without ground control points
