The application discloses a road
distortion correction method based on DEM
interactive editing and local orthographic updating, and relates to the technical field of
remote sensing image processing,
digital photogrammetry and surveying and mapping production. The method comprises the following steps: importing original images, an initial DOM, a DEM and positioning parameters; identifying a road
distortion area in the DOM, and expanding the road
distortion area to form a local updating window and an edge transition zone; constructing a road target elevation surface based on surrounding stable sample points and smooth continuity constraints; locally correcting the DEM based on the elevation surface, and connecting the DEM in the edge transition zone in a gradual manner; performing orthographic inverse solution calculation and
resampling on only the pixels in the local updating window based on the corrected DEM; and finally generating an updating
mask according to the edge transition zone, and writing the local orthographic result back to the initial DOM. The application restores the correct spatial correspondence between the road and surrounding objects from the three-dimensional geometric source by correcting the DEM instead of pasting images, and takes into account the geometric accuracy, edge continuity and production efficiency without recalculation of the whole scene image.
