Abstract:Quadratic polynomial method has been applied widely in satellite image retification. Precision of corrective image is decided by amoun ts and distribution of reference points. According to experience, if 25 to 30 re ference points which are evenly distributed on one satellite image are selected, plane precision demand can be satisfied. Sometimes, one satellite-image is not satisfied with practical application,it deals with the question of naught-sew m osaic for satellite-image;by using ERDAS IMAGINE, several satellite-images are connected as a whole which can be regarded as background image for Photoshop. By using the function of image editor and disposal on photoshop to amend line imag es with errors, naught-sew mosaic can be realized. Three methods are generally u sed to evaluate plane precision of corrective image: precision appraision, cal culating plane precision with homonymy-point error on reference map and measurin g mosaic precision.
