Research on HJ-1A/B satellite data automatic geometric precision correction design

Developed independently by China,HJ-1A/B satellites have operated well on-orbit for five years and acquired a large number of high-quality observation data.The realization of the observation data geometric precision correction is of great significance for macro and dynamic ecological environment monitoring.The paper analyzed the parameter characteristics of HJ-1 satellite and geometric features of HJ-1 satellite level 2 data(systematic geo- corrected data).Based on this,the overall HJ- 1 multi- sensor geometric correction flow and charge-coupled device(CCD) automatic geometric precision correction method were designed.Actual operating data showed that the method could achieve good result for automatic geometric precision correction of HJ-1 satellite data,automatic HJ-1 CCD image geometric precision correction accuracy could be achieved within two pixels and automatic matching accuracy between the images of same satellite could be obtained less than one pixel.
