Abstract:

The ZiYuan-3 (ZY-3) surveying satellite is the first high-resolution civilian stereo mapping satellite of China, which carries one multispectral sensor with a spatial resolution of 5.8m. Fully considering the characteristic of the ZY-3 multispectral camera that all CCD chips of four bands scan through the same field, a novel method is proposed in this paper to achieve seamless multispectral images and high accuracy band-to-band registration by re-imaging with virtual CCD. In the experiment, the ZY-3 multispectral camera is calibrated with the ZY-3 images over Henan area and Tianjin area, meanwhile the correctness of the calibration results is validated by 30 high accuracy GCPs in the ZY-3 multispectral image over Hebei. Further, re-imaging method is applied to the ZY-3 images over Hebei area and Lanzhou area with the virtual CCD calculated from the calibrated interior orientation. Finally, the band-to-band registration is estimated by comparing image coordinates of the same points in different bands. The validity of the proposed method is proved by experimental result which indicates the band-to-band registration accuracy is better than 0.2 pixels.
