Abstract

Through the example of SPOT satellites, this paper analyzes the relationship between the view vector error and the error of direct geolocation. A precise estimation formula for view vector error is derived theoretically. Based on this formula, a high-precision direct geolocation method is proposed, together with an exact, step-by-step procedure. With only a few ground control points (GCPs), this method can estimate precisely the view vector error, achieving the purpose of precise, zero-control-point geolocation of other scenes of the same orbit in a certain time interval. The results of experiments and comparative analysis show that this method is an effective, high-precision direct geolocation method with sparse GCPs.
