    Abstract: A system and methods can create a synthetic image of a target from a 3D data set, by using an electro-optical (EO) image and sun geometry associated with the EO image. In some examples, a 3D surface model is created from a 3D data set. The 3D surface model establishes a local surface orientation at each point in the 3D data set. A surface shaded relief (SSR) is produced from the local surface orientation, from an EO image, and from sun geometry associated with the EO image. Points in the SSR that are in shadows are shaded appropriately. The SSR is projected into the image plane of the EO image. Edge-based registration extracts tie points from the projected SSR. The 3D data set converts the tie points to ground control points. A geometric bundle adjustment aligns the EO image geometry to the 3D data set.

    Abstract: Systems, devices, methods, and computer-readable media for horizon-based navigation. A method can include receiving image data corresponding to a geographical region in a field of view of an imaging unit and in which the device is situated, based on the received image data, generating, by the processing unit, an image horizon corresponding to a horizon of the geographical region and from a perspective of the imaging unit, projecting three-dimensional (3D) points of a 3D point set of the geographical region to an image space of the received image data resulting in a synthetic image, generating, by the processing unit, a synthetic image horizon of the synthetic image, and responsive to determining the image horizon sufficiently correlates with the synthetic image horizon, providing a location corresponding to a perspective of the synthetic image as a location of the processing unit.

    Abstract: Discussed herein are devices, systems, and methods for merging point cloud data with error propagation. A can include reducing a sum aggregate of discrepancies between respective tie points and associated 3D points in first and second 3D images, adjusting 3D error models of the first and second 3D images based on the reduced discrepancies to generate registered 3D images, and propagating an error of the first or second 3D images to the registered 3D image to generate error of the registered 3D images.

    Abstract: A process improves accuracy in mapping geodetic coordinates to image sensor coordinates via an image rational function. The image rational function is fitted to an image-to ground sensor model at an input grid of image u coordinates and image v coordinates, and further at geodetic longitudes, geodetic latitudes, and geodetic heights corresponding to the image u coordinates and the image v coordinates. This fitting generates fit residuals. The fit residuals are stored as a function of the image u coordinates, the image v coordinates, and the geodetic height coordinates. The fit residuals are applied to metadata associated with the image rational function. This application corrects for a residual error in a fit of the image rational function to the image-to-ground sensor model.

    Abstract: A system and a method for processing multi-linear image data by measuring a relative oscillatory motion from a first-imaged array of the multi-linear optical array to a second-imaged array of the multi-linear optical array as a first function in time domain via image correlation; transforming the first function from the time domain to a second function in frequency domain; converting real and the imaginary parts of the second function to polar coordinates to generate a magnitude and a phase; correcting the polar coordinates from the second function in the frequency domain to generate a third function; converting the third function to rectangular coordinates to generate a fourth function in the frequency domain; and transforming the fourth function from the frequency domain to a fifth function in the time domain.
