Method for using laser height measurement point in surface relief area as image elevation control point

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for taking a laser height measurement point in a surface relief area as an image elevation control point, which comprises the following steps of firstly, carrying out full-waveform processing on a laser point echo signal in the surface relief area to obtain a maximum surface elevation value and a minimum surface elevation value in a laser point ground footprint; and then high-precision registration of the laser footprint image and the three-dimensional image being utilized to obtain a laser point ground footprint range on the three-dimensional image; carrying out image dense matching in a laser point ground footprint range on the stereoscopic image, generating a ground three-dimensional point cloud, and obtaining corresponding image point coordinates of ground three-dimensional points with the maximum elevation value and the minimum elevation value on the stereoscopic image; and finally, respectively endowing a maximum elevation value and the minimum elevation value of the ground surface in the ground footprint of the laser point to a maximum elevation value and the minimum elevation value, namely, obtaining two elevation control points on the stereoscopic image through one laser point. According to the method, the limitation that the laser points in the surface relief area cannot be used for elevation control due to the fact that the precise elevation of the footprint center point cannot be obtained in the past is broken through, and the utilization rate of the laser points in the surface relief area is greatly improved.

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of remote sensing and photogrammetry, and in particular relates to a method for using laser altimetry points in a surface undulating area as elevation control points for stereo images. Background technique [0002] As a high-precision ranging instrument, the existing laser altimeter can obtain high-precision surface elevation information because of its good directionality and high ranging accuracy. Currently available spaceborne laser altimetry data mainly include two types, one is the laser altimetry point data obtained by special laser altimetry satellites, such as the Geoscience Laser Altimeter System carried on the ICESat satellite launched by the country in 2003 Laser point altimeter data; Laser altimeter data obtained by the Advanced Topographic Laser Altimeter System on the ICESat-02 satellite launched by xx in 2018. The other is the stereo mapping satellite equipped with an optical stereo camera and...

Problems solved by technology

In all previous studies, the center point of the ground footprint of the laser altimetry point is generally used as the elevation control point of the stereo image. The high-precision elevation value of the center point of the ground footprint can be obtained. Therefore, in the past, only the smooth laser altimetry points within the range of the ground footprint can be selected as the stereoscopic image control, and the surface relief within the footprint range (that is, terrain fluctuations or The use of laser altimetry points with different elevations) has great limitations in the use of laser altimetry points, and a large number of laser altimetry points within the range of ground footprints are forced to abandon, resulting in huge waste of resources

However, areas with undulating terrain are often areas where other types of high-precision ground control points are relatively scarce, which also reduces the applicability and practicability of laser altimetry points as elevation control points for stereo images

To sum up, the problem existing in the current technology is: the conventional method of using laser altimetry points as elevation control is to use the center point of the ground footprint of the laser altimetry point as the elevation control point of the stereoscopic image, which leads to the distribution on the surface undulations (that is, terrain The laser altimetry points in the undulating, complex terrain) area cannot be applied to the stereoscopic image elevation control because of the inability to obtain the high-precision elevation value of the center point of the ground footprint, resulting in a large number of idle waste of the laser altimetry points, resulting in the loss of the laser altimetry points The utilization efficiency in complex areas on the surface is extremely low

[0004] Therefore, designing an effective method that can make full use of the laser altimetry points in the undulating area as the elevation control points of the stereo image is to solve the problem that the laser altimetry points in the undulating area cannot be effectively applied to the elevation control of the stereo image, and improve the whole area. The urgent need for the utilization of laser altimetry points will also create greater social and economic benefits
