  • VELOCITY ESTIMATION IN REMOTELY SENSED IMAGERY
    Publication number: 20230368540
    Abstract: A method is provided for estimating velocity of a moving object. The method includes generating a raw velocity for the moving object from a position change between a first image generated by a first sensor and a second image generated by a second sensor of a sensor assembly and selecting a plurality of stationary background features that are captured with the moving object in one or more images. A background misregistration value is generated from apparent movement of the plurality of stationary background features and is used to correct the raw velocity.
