Image registration and georeferencing with snapshot camera for the HYPSO mission

Abstract

Denne masteroppgaven omhandler tre forskjellige, men beslektede temaer. Bilde registrering og georeferering av push broom satellitt bilder, og et snapshot kamera satellitt nyttelast. Bilde registrerings og georeferings metoder er diskutert. Et geometrisk-direkte registrering og georeferering metode er valgt og en algoritme for implementasjon har blitt utarbeided. Den har blitt implementert i MATLAB. Algoritmen har blitt testet i simuleringer, der det ble vist at algoritmen fungerer bra. Argumenter for et snapshot kamera er sammlet og diskutert. Et snapshot kamera tjeneste har blitt implementert i et eksisterende programmvare rammeverk på mål-hardware og suksessfult tatt i bruk.

This thesis concerns three different, but related topics. Image registration and georeferencing of push broom satellite images, and a snapshot camera satellite payload. Image registration and georeferencing techniques are discussed. A geometric-direct registration and georeferencing method is chosen and an algorithm to implement it has been theorized and implemented in MATLAB. It was tested in simulations where it was shown to work well. Arguments for use of a snapshot camera are collected and discussed. A snapshot camera service has been implemented as module to an existing software framework on the target hardware and successfully taken into use.
