    摘要: A method (100) for referencing an optical image (19) including: obtaining (110, 120) a stereoscopic image pair (19, 23) of the optical image (19) and a SAR image (35), the surface areas covered by the images (19, 23, 35) on the ground having an overlapping area (39); selecting (130) an area of interest (42) in the overlapping area (39); from the area of interest (42): obtaining (140) a 3D model (40); calculating (150) a simulated radar image (44); estimating (160) an offset (di, dj) between the simulated image (44) and the radar image (35); selecting (170) a reference point (46); projecting (180) and shifting (di, dj) the reference point (46) in the radar image (35) to correct the radar connection point (46′″); determining (175) a pair of connection points (46′, 46″) in the image pair; and referencing the optical image (19) based on the connection points (46′, 46″, 46′″).

    摘要: A method for increasing spatial resolution of a MS image using a PAN image. For a portion of the scene, values of parameters of a scene model are obtained according to a resemblance between a simulated MS reflectance and the MS reflectance. A relative variation in the simulated MS reflectance is determined with respect to a simulated PAN reflectance near the values of parameters obtained. A difference between the PAN reflectance and a reflectance of a PAN image with reduced spatial resolution is estimated. An MS image with increased spatial resolution is determined, by adding to the MS reflectance a correction corresponding to a product of this difference and this relative variation. A corresponding image-processing system is also provided.

    摘要: A method (100) for referencing a digital elevation model (10), involving a step of obtaining (110) two SAR images (12, 14) having a common area (15) that their area of overlap (16, 17) shares with the digital model (10); the method (100) involving, for the SAR images (12, 14), steps of: selecting (120) an AOI (18) in the common area (15); calculating (130) a simulated image (22) in the AOI (18); estimating (140) an offset (di, dj) between the simulated image (22) and the SAR image (12); the method (100) involving steps of selecting a reference point (26) in the AOI (18); projecting (160) the reference point (26) into the SAR images (12, 14) to obtain one connection point per SAR image (12, 14); correcting (170) the connection points by the offsets (di, dj); calculating (180) the readjusted reference point (26); referencing (190) the digital model (10).

    摘要: Method for selecting stereo pairs of satellite or aerial images to generate elevation data for an area of interest, the method being computer-implemented and including a phase of selecting eligible stereo pairs from an initial set of images representing the area of interest, followed by a phase of ranking the selected stereo pairs according to their quality. The method further includes a phase of defining N image clusters, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 2, each grouping images from the initial set according to a similarity criterion, and a phase of selecting the best stereo pairs per cluster on the basis of the ranking established during the ranking phase and on the fact that a pair belongs to a cluster if the two images of the pair belong to the cluster.

    摘要: A method for processing an optical image acquired by a space vehicle or an aerial vehicle having a ground reflectance model and an atmospheric model, the atmospheric model having an aerosol model and a cloud model; determining optimal values of atmospheric model parameters to optimise the atmospheric model with respect to the image; determining correction parameter values for each layer of the atmospheric model, converting the image into a ground image with environmental effects according to the correction parameter values, converting the ground image with environmental effects into a ground image with no environmental effects according to the correction parameter values.
