This invention provides a method for
geolocation accuracy analysis of medium-resolution
satellite imagery, relating to the field of
geolocation technology. The method includes: acquiring
control point images and geographic location information corresponding to a
ground truth image; acquiring a
satellite imagery reference channel image and geographic location information; segmenting the
satellite image using the
Otsu thresholding method to obtain cloud and non-cloud area images; remapping the
ground truth image using
Gaussian filtering; extracting feature points from the cloud and non-cloud area images and the remapped image, and performing
feature matching using the SIFT
feature point matching algorithm; removing
outlier matching point pairs using the RANSAC
algorithm based on the matching point pairs; extracting the location information of precise matching point pairs based on the geographic location information of the
ground truth image and the
satellite image, and converting this information into positioning error; and verifying the positioning accuracy based on the positioning error to obtain the positioning accuracy
verification result. This invention solves the technical problem that current positioning accuracy mainly depends on the coastline.
