Overview Traditional Method of Georeferencing
Require Ground Control Points (GCPs) GCPs are acquired manually and hence an expensive task Regions like deserts which lack salient features and have
homogeneous texture, selection of GCP is difficult A large number are required for complex terrain with varied surface
elevation. Accuracy of exterior orientation depends on the accuracy of GCP Not suitable for push broom imagery as every scanned line
possesses a different set of exterior orientation parameters Proposed method is based on Direct Georeferencing
Does not require Ground Control Points (GCPs) Utilizes
Satellite position/velocity data Attitude data Sensor Configuration to determine the pixel’s geo location.

Thermo-elastic Effect
Due to thermo-elasticity Satellite cools and heat up
periodically which causes it to contract and expand.
This introduces changes in the relative orientations of the attitude sensors (e.g. star tracker) and the imager.

Literature Review on Thermo elastic Effect
In 2003, work on “Active pixel array devices in space missions“ has been done and it has been found that
The X-ray Telescope for NASA’s Swift mission incorporates a Telescope Alignment Monitor (TAM) to measure thermo-elastic misalignments between the telescope and the spacecraft star tracker.
In 2005, research on “Pleiades-HR Image System Products, Quality And Geometric Accuracy” has been done.
It has been found that attitude sensors are mechanically fixed on the telescope support to minimized the thermo elastic distortions.

Research Novelty In direct geo-referencing the major
source of error Thermo-elastic effect
Creates misalignment between the imaging sensor and the attitude sensor onboard.
Measured and realized orientations will be different.
Mechanical design changes to reduce the distortion by mounting the
imager/star-tracker assembly together on compliant mounts
But this solution will be costly and require changes in the physical mounting of the sensors.
Towards such ends we proposed to model the thermo elastic effect as a transformation matrix by using the inter-image offsets present
between the pair of images.

Modeling Thermo-elastic Effect
The thermal deformation could be a rotation, scaling or some sort shearing in the pixels.T = Trotation + Tscale + Tshear Rotation
It has the major effect on the accuracy of geo-locations. Small deviations from the true orientation cause a large
displacement on the ground. Scaling
Due temperature changes the focal length of the imager contracts and expands.
This effects the scaling in the height (Z-direction) Shearing
Non parallel projection of imager results in shearing of pixels.

Modeling Thermo-Elastic Effect as a Rotation
This can be determined by
Rotation of Imager Determined by inter-image
offsets present between stereo pair.
Mathematical model has been developed
The inter image offsets equations are the function of senor configuration angles and attitude components.

extract

Thermo-elastic Matrix
Thermo-elastic matrix will be the sum of rotation, scale and shear extracted from the image offsets
Now inserting this matrix between the body and orbital frame will mitigate the misalignment between the imager and the attitude sensor.

Stereo Angle Estimation
Prior to model inversion, the sensor configuration angles of UK DMC must be determined which are α and β.
The β is being determined by SpaceMetric β = 12.6448o.
However the magnitude of α can be found from Rearranging equation of row offset’s constant
For UK DMC band 3 image pair, the value of α was found to be 0.04560.

Potential Benefits No GCPs required:
The major benefit of this approach is that it does not based on GCPs. Collection of GCPs is time consuming and expensive Difficult to collect GCPs having homogeneous texture Large number of GCPs are required for complex terrain Unsuitable for pushbroom imagery
Thermo elastic correction To date, modeling of thermo elastic effect as a transformation matrix has
not been explored. The thermo elastic effect is deemed as major source of error in this work Not only provide cost effective solution but also mitigate pointing error
No additional hardware Low cost and low mass system for obtaining geolocation Can work with conventional EO cameras with no additional hardware
Frequent Attitude Observations Due to small baseline or angular separation between the sensors, the
registration time for the corresponding pixels is very small which results in rapid attitude observations.

Conclusions A novel method for measuring geolocation without GCPs has been
developed. The error in geolocations estimate has been addressed by modeling thermo
elastic effect as a deformation matrix. Mathematical model has been developed by exploiting inter image offset
between pair of images. The possible deformations that has been considered are
Rotation, Scaling & Shearing These deformations have been modeled individually and has been
summed at the end to represent the entire thermo elastic deformation. The row and column offset parameters have been simulated individually
to determine The best candidate for extracting these individual deformation.
Developed mathematical model has been validated on UK DMC imagery. Accuracy of 1-1.5Km is achieved using newly developed georeferencing
method.
