| Abstract | A simple and efficient algorithm for the geometric
correction of remotely sensed images (particularly that of NOAA
AVHRR) by using Delaunay triangulation has been developed,
described and implemented. The method use ground control points
(GCPs) in the triangulation of the map. Analysis of the result
of the experiment conducted by this study initially proved its
superiority over the conventional least squares method.
The advantages and drawbacks of the said method are pointed
out and discussed, and recommendations are made to compensate the
shortcomings of the method.
Delaunay triangulation shows great potential as a geometric
correction method of NOAA AVHRR and other types of remotely
sensed imagery. Nevertheless, more research into this subject
matter is needed to establish its flexibility to correct varied
scenes (land mass, oceanic, etc.), and to merge with existing
methods for best results . |
