Abstract
ABSTRACT Recently, there is a growing interest in analysing the degrading effect of satellite micro-vibrations due to the rapid growth in satellite technologies and the urgent need to precisely extract a huge amount of information from satellite images. Different kinds of micro-vibration have a notable effect on the quality of satellite images. The main objective of this paper is to demonstrate and analyse the effect of all types of micro-vibration on the quality of images acquired by high-resolution satellites. An algorithm to simulate micro-vibrations is proposed. A very high-resolution satellite image from the Pleiades-neo satellite is selected as an example to be used in addressing the degrading effects of micro-vibrations. In this paper, the modulation transfer function (MTF) is used as a major function to model the degradation that has been conducted. Also, several quality metrics are used to quantitatively assess the degradation. The key result of this paper is the significant effect of micro-vibrations on the quality of remote sensing satellite images which is attributed to the main influential parameters. These parameters like blur diameter, vibration displacement, number of Time Delay and Integration (TDI) stages of the camera, and the ratio of the integration time to the vibration period.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Image and Data Fusion provides a single source of information for all aspects of image and data fusion methodologies, developments, techniques and applications. Image and data fusion techniques are important for combining the many sources of satellite, airborne and ground based imaging systems, and integrating these with other related data sets for enhanced information extraction and decision making. Image and data fusion aims at the integration of multi-sensor, multi-temporal, multi-resolution and multi-platform image data, together with geospatial data, GIS, in-situ, and other statistical data sets for improved information extraction, as well as to increase the reliability of the information. This leads to more accurate information that provides for robust operational performance, i.e. increased confidence, reduced ambiguity and improved classification enabling evidence based management. The journal welcomes original research papers, review papers, shorter letters, technical articles, book reviews and conference reports in all areas of image and data fusion including, but not limited to, the following aspects and topics: • Automatic registration/geometric aspects of fusing images with different spatial, spectral, temporal resolutions; phase information; or acquired in different modes • Pixel, feature and decision level fusion algorithms and methodologies • Data Assimilation: fusing data with models • Multi-source classification and information extraction • Integration of satellite, airborne and terrestrial sensor systems • Fusing temporal data sets for change detection studies (e.g. for Land Cover/Land Use Change studies) • Image and data mining from multi-platform, multi-source, multi-scale, multi-temporal data sets (e.g. geometric information, topological information, statistical information, etc.).
