Patent number: 6810153Abstract: A method is provided for the orthocorrection of a satellite-acquired image. This method can be applied even if ground control points are not set. Without propagation of an error throughout the image and also without needing an excessively large amount of calculations, the method makes it possible to correct ground-relief-associated distortions caused by the relief of a ground surface. According to the method, a plurality of control planes of different elevations are set relative to a control plane of a zero elevation of a reference rotating ellipsoidal earth model. A corrected image is divided into blocks by lattices of equal intervals. With respect to each of these blocks, distortion model formulas in the form of bilinear functions are determined for the respective control planes.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2002Date of Patent: October 26, 2004Assignees: Hitachi Software Global Technology, Ltd., Hitachi Software Engineering Co., Ltd.Inventors: Fuminobu Komura, Kouji Ueda, Takashi Hino, Takatoshi Kodaira
