Abstract

High-resolution satellite images have high potential to acquire geospatial information over inaccessible areas such as Antarctica. Reference data are often required to increase the positional accuracy of the satellite data but the data are not available in many inland areas in Antarctica. Therefore this paper presents a multi-image RPCs (Rational Polynomial Coefficients) sensor modeling without any ground controls or reference data. Conjugate points between multi-images are extracted and used for the multi-image sensor modeling. The experiment was carried out for Kompsat-3A and showed that the significant accuracy increase was not observed but the approach has potential to suppress the maximum errors, especially the vertical errors.

고해상도 위성영상은 극지 내륙 지역과 같이 접근이 어려운 지역에 대해서도 공간 정보를 획득할 수 있는 탁월한 접근성을 가진다. 고해상도 위성영상으로부터 도출되는 공간정보의 위치 정확도를 향상시키기 위해서는 기준점을 활용하는데, 이러한 접근 불가 지역에 대해서는 기준점 획득이 쉽지 않기 때문에 여러 보조 데이터를 쓰기도 하나, 그러한 보조 데이터 마저 획득이 어려운 지역이 존재한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 완전한 무기준점 기반으로 위치 정확도를 향상시키기 위한 방법으로 멀티 영상의 번들조정을 기반으로 정확도 향상의 정도를 평가하였다. 멀티 영상 조정을 위해 영상 간의 매칭점를 추출하여 활용하였고, 개별 영상 또는 스테레오 영상의 조정이 아닌 전체 영상의 통합 센서 모델링을 구현하여 정확도 향상 정도를 평가하였다. 실험으로 아리랑 3A 영상을 활용하였으며, 실험결과 RMSE (Root Mean Square Error) 오차의 현격한 향상은 도출하기 어려웠으나, 최대오차를 감소시키는 효과가 있었으며, 특히 표고 방향으로의 과대오차를 감소시키는데 효과적임을 알 수 있었다.
