This paper presents a simple methodology for accurate registration of the available elevation data sources, such as SRTM and ASTER DEM, to high resolution satellite images. For this purpose, widely used rational polynomial functions are utilized to project a point in the elevation data onto the satellite image. These projections are then interpolated in the image domain by using quadratic surface fitting. Possible hole points (empty pixels) are eliminated by using overlapping patches. The errors in SRTM data and satellite image geo-location are reduced by the help of tie points. The experimental results indicate better geo-location accuracy compared to the original satellite RPC's could provide. The proposed approach provides a good initial position estimate for each pixel in both stereo satellite images with no ground control points (GCPs), possibly resulting in fast convergence for expensive surface generation iterations and fast stereo match point detection.

Discontinuity mapping with automatic lineament extraction from high resolution satellite imagery
Karpuz, Celal (null; 2004-09-01)
In this study, automatic lineament analysis is performed by using high resolution satellite imagery for identification of rock discontinuities. A case study area is selected as an Andesite mine area in Gölbaı, Ankara, Turkey. For the high resolution data 8-bit Ikonos Precision Plus with 1 meter resolution orthorectified image is used. The image data contain three bands as blue, green, red as band 1, band 2 and band 3, respectively. Then an additional band (fourth band) for the image is assigned by obtainin...
Automatic building detection from high resolution satellite images
Koc, D; Turker, M (2005-06-11)
An approach was developed to update the buildings of existing vector database from high resolution satellite images using image classification, Digital Elevation Models (DEM) and object extraction techniques. First, the satellite image is classified using the Maximum Likelihood Classifier (MLC). The classified output provides the shapes and the approximate locations of the buildings. Next, a normalized Digital Surface Model (nDSM) is generated by subtracting the Digital Terrain Model (DTM) from the Digital ...
Terrain modeling and atmospheric turbulent flow solutions based on meteorological weather forecast data
Leblebici, Engin; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2012)
In this study, atmospheric and turbulent flow solutions are obtained using meteorological flowfield and topographical terrain data in high resolution. The terrain topology of interest, which may be obtained in various resolution levels, is accurately modeled using structured or unstructured grids depending on whether high-rise building models are present or not. Meteorological weather prediction software MM5, is used to provide accurate and unsteady boundary conditions for the solution domain. Unsteady turb...
Automatic building extraction from high resolution satellite images for map updating: A model based approach
San, D. Koc; TÜRKER, MUSTAFA (2007-10-12)
An approach was developed for automatically updating the buildings of an existing vector database from high resolution satellite images using spectral image classification, Digital Elevation Models (DEM) and the model-based extraction techniques. First, the areas that contain buildings are detected using spectral image classification and the normalized Digital Surface Model (nDSM). The classified output provides the shapes and the approximate locations of the buildings. However, those buildings that have si...
GPS-Based Real-Time Orbit Determination of Low Earth Orbit Satellites Using Robust Unscented Kalman Filter
Karslıoğlu, Mahmut Onur; Erdogan, Eren; Pamuk, Onur (2017-11-01)
In this research, a novel algorithm for real-time orbit determination (RTOD) is presented using the robust unscented Kalman filter (RUKF) with global positioning system (GPS) group and phase ionospheric correction (GRAPHIC) observables. To increase the reliability of the solution, a robust approach is included in the UKF to cope with the bad, invalid, or degraded measurements leading to the divergence or inaccurate output of the filter. Robustness is provided by making the filter less sensitive to faulty me...
