The majority of cloud applications are created or delivered to provide users with access to system resources or prebuilt processing algorithms for efficient data storage, management, and production. The number of cases linking cloud computing to the use of global observation satellite data continues to rise, owing to the benefits of cloud computing. This study aims to develop a cloud software as a service (SaaS) that yields reflectance products in high-resolution Korea Multi-Purpose Satellite (KOMPSAT)-3/3A satellite images. The SaaS model was designed as three subsystems: a Calibration Processing System (CPS), a Request System for CPS supporting RESTful application programming interface (API), and a Web Interface Application System. Open-source components, libraries, and frameworks were used in this study’s SaaS, including an OpenStack for infrastructure as a service. An absolute atmospheric correction scheme based on a Second Simulation of a Satellite Signal in the Solar Spectrum (6S) radiative transfer code with atmospheric variable inputs was used to generate the top-of-atmosphere (TOA) and top-of-canopy (TOC) reflectance products. The SaaS implemented in this study provides users with the absolute atmospheric calibration functionality to apply their KOMPSAT-3/3A satellite image set through a web browser and obtain output directly from this service. According to experiments to check the total performance time for images, bundled with four bands of red, green, blue, and near-infrared, it took approximately 4.88 min on average for the execution time to obtain all reflectance results since satellite images were registered into the SaaS. The SaaS model proposed and implemented in this study can be used as a reference model for the production system to generate reflectance products from other optical sensor images. In the future, SaaS, which offers professional analysis functions based on open source, is expected to grow and expand into new application fields for public users and communities.

This paper presents an automatic procedure for the geometric corrections of very-high resolution (VHR) optical panchromatic satellite images. The procedure is composed of three steps: an automatic ground control point (GCP) extraction algorithm that matches the linear features that were extracted from the satellite image and reference data; a geometric model that applies a rational function model; and, the orthorectification procedure. Accurate geometric corrections can only be achieved if GCPs are employed to precisely correct the geometric biases of images. Due to the high resolution and the varied acquisition geometry of images, we propose a fast, segmentation based method for feature extraction. The research focuses on densely populated urban areas, which are very challenging in terms of feature extraction and matching. The proposed algorithm is capable of achieving results with a root mean square error of approximately one pixel or better, on a test set of 14 panchromatic Pléiades images. The procedure is robust and it performs well in urban areas, even for images with high off-nadir angles.

Three methods of atmospheric correction, Second Simulation of the Satellite Signal in the Solar Spectrum (6S), Landsat Ecosystem Disturbance Adaptive Processing System (LEDAPS) and the model Fast Line-of-sight Atmospheric Analysis of Spectral Hypercubes (FLAASH), have been applied to the level 1T Landsat-7 image Jakarta area. The atmospheric corrected image is then compared with the TOA reflectance image. The results show that there is an improvement of the spectral pattern on the TOA reflectance image by the decrease of the reflectance value of each object by (1 - 11) % after the atmospheric correction of all models for visible bands (blue, green and red). In the NIR and SWIR bands there is an increase in the spectral value of about 1% to the TOA reflectance on all objects except wetland for the LEDAPS model. The percentage of the increase and the decrease in spectral values of 6S and FLAASH models have the same tendency. Analyzes were also performed on the NDVI values of each model, where NDVI values were relatively higher after atmospheric correction. The NDVI value of rice crop on FLAASH model is the same as 6S model that is equal to 0.95 and for wetland, it has the same value between FLAASH model and LEDAPS which is 0.23. NDVI value of entire scene for FLAASH model = 0.63, LEDAPS model = 0.56 and 6S model = 0.66. Before the atmospheric correction, the TOA is 0.45. Abstrak Tiga metode koreksi atmosfer diantaranya  Second Simulation of the Satellite Signal in the Solar Spectrum (6S), Landsat Ecosystem Disturbance Adaptive Processing System (LEDAPS) dan model Fast Line-of-sight Atmospheric Analysis of Spectral Hypercubes (FLAASH) telah diterapkan pada citra Landsat-7 level 1T wilayah Jakarta. Citra yang telah terkoreksi atmosfer dibandingkan dengan citra reflektan TOA. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbaikan pola spektral pada citra reflektan TOA dengan adanya penurunan nilai reflektan setiap obyek sebesar (1 – 11) % setelah dilakukan koreksi atmosfer pada semua model untuk kanal-kanal visible (blue, green dan red). Pada kanal NIR dan SWIR terjadi kenaikan nilai spektral yaitu sekitar 1% terhadap reflektan TOA pada semua objek terkecuali objek lahan basah untuk model LEDAPS. Persentase kenaikan dan penurunan nilai spektral model 6S dan FLAASH memiliki kecenderungan yang sama. Analisis juga dilakukan terhadap nilai NDVI masing-masing model, dimana nilai NDVI relatif lebih tinggi setelah koreksi atmosfer. Nilai NDVI tanaman padi pada model FLAASH sama dengan model 6S yaitu sebesar 0.95 dan untuk lahan basah memiliki nilai yang sama antara model FLAASH dan LEDAPS yaitu 0.23. Nilai NDVI seluruh scene untuk model FLAASH = 0.63, model LEDAPS = 0.56 dan model 6S = 0.66. Sebelum koreksi atmosfer (TOA) adalah 0.45.

The accurate positioning of optical satellite image without control is the precondition for remote sensing application and small/medium scale mapping in large abroad areas or with large-scale images. In this paper, aiming at the geometric features of optical satellite image, based on a widely used optimization method of constraint problem which is called Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) and RFM least-squares block adjustment, we propose a GCP independent block adjustment method for the large-scale domestic high resolution optical satellite image – GISIBA (GCP-Independent Satellite Imagery Block Adjustment), which is easy to parallelize and highly efficient. In this method, the virtual "average" control points are built to solve the rank defect problem and qualitative and quantitative analysis in block adjustment without control. The test results prove that the horizontal and vertical accuracy of multi-covered and multi-temporal satellite images are better than 10 m and 6 m. Meanwhile the mosaic problem of the adjacent areas in large area DOM production can be solved if the public geographic information data is introduced as horizontal and vertical constraints in the block adjustment process. Finally, through the experiments by using GF-1 and ZY-3 satellite images over several typical test areas, the reliability, accuracy and performance of our developed procedure will be presented and studied in this paper.

High resolution satellite imaging is considered as the outstanding applicant to extract the Earth’s surface information. Extraction of a feature of an image is very difficult due to having to find the appropriate image segmentation techniques and combine different methods to detect the Region of Interest (ROI) most effectively. This paper proposes techniques to classify objects in the satellite image by using image processing methods on high-resolution satellite images. The systems to identify the ROI focus on forests, urban and agriculture areas. The proposed system is based on histograms of the image to classify objects using thresholding. The thresholding is performed by considering the behaviour of the histogram mapping to a particular region in the satellite image. The proposed model is based on histogram segmentation and morphology techniques. There are five main steps supporting each other; Histogram classification, Histogram segmentation, Morphological dilation, Morphological fill image area and holes and ROI management. The methods to detect the ROI of the satellite images based on histogram classification have been studied, implemented and tested. The algorithm is be able to detect the area of forests, urban and agriculture separately. The image segmentation methods can detect the ROI and reduce the size of the original image by discarding the unnecessary parts.

Since the traditional adaptive enhancement algorithm of high-resolution satellite images has the problems of poor enhancement effect and long enhancement time, an adaptive enhancement algorithm of high-resolution satellite images based on feature fusion is proposed. The noise removal and quality enhancement areas of high-resolution satellite images are determined by collecting a priori information. On this basis, the histogram is used to equalize the high-resolution satellite images, and the local texture features of the images are extracted in combination with the local variance theory. According to the extracted features, the illumination components are estimated by Gaussian low-pass filtering. The illumination components are fused to complete the adaptive enhancement of high-resolution satellite images. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has a better adaptive enhancement effect, higher image definition, and shorter enhancement time.

This study discussed the application of a fractal interpolation method in satellite image data reconstruction. It used low-resolution images as the source data for fractal interpolation reconstruction. Using this approach, a high-resolution image can be reconstructed when there is only a low-resolution source image available. The results showed that the high-resolution image data from fractal interpolation can effectively enhance the sharpness of the border contours. Implementing fractal interpolation on an insufficient image resolution image can avoid jagged edges and mosaic when enlarging the image, as well as improve the visibility of object features in the region of interest. The proposed approach can thus be a useful tool in land classification by satellite images.

Abstract. Data from the optical satellite imaging sensors running 24/7, is collecting in embarrassing abundance nowadays. Besides more suitable for large-scale mapping, multi-view high-resolution satellite images (HRSI) are cheaper when comparing to Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) data and aerial remotely sensed images, which are more accessible sources for digital surface modelling and updating. Digital Surface Model (DSM) generation is one of the most critical steps for mapping, 3D modelling, and semantic interpretation. Computing DSM from this dataset is relatively new, and several solutions exist in the market, both commercial and open-source solutions, the performances of these solutions have not yet been comprehensively analyzed. Although some works and challenges have focused on the DSM generation pipeline and the geometric accuracy of the generated DSM, the evaluations, however, do not consider the latest solutions as the fast development in this domain. In this work, we discussed the pipeline of the considered both commercial and opensource solutions, assessed the accuracy of the multi-view satellite image-based DSMs generation methods with LiDAR-derived DSM as the ground truth. Three solutions, including Satellite Stereo Pipeline (S2P), PCI Geomatica, and Agisoft Metashape, are evaluated on a WorldView-3 multi-view satellite dataset both quantitatively and qualitatively with the LiDAR ground truth. Our comparison and findings are presented in the experimental section.


In the current era, content based image retrieval based on pattern recognition and classification using machine learning paradigm is an innovative way. In order to retrieve high resolution satellite images Support Vector Machine (SVM) a machine learning paradigm is helpful for learning process and for pattern recognition and classification; ensemble methods give better machine learning results. In this paper, SVM based on random subspace and boosting ensemble learning is proposed for very high resolution satellite image retrieval. The learned SVM ensemble model is used to identify the images that most similar informative for active learning. A bias-weighting system is developed to direct the ensemble model to pay more attention on the positive examples than the negative ones. The UCMerced land use satellite image dataset is used for experimental work. Accuracy and error rate are found to be precise. The tentative effects illustrate that the proposed model derived enhanced retrieval accurateness at the optimum level as well as significantly more effective than existing approaches. The proposed method can diminish the gap dimensionality and conquer the difficulty. The comparisons are evaluated by using precision and recall measurements. Comparative analysis observed that the retrieval time for a particular image have been reduced and the precision is increased. The primary aim of this paper is to represent the significance of ensemble learning with support vector machine in efficient retrieval of image.

We introduce a robust and light-weight multi-image super-resolution restoration (SRR) method and processing system, called OpTiGAN, using a combination of a multi-image maximum a posteriori approach and a deep learning approach. We show the advantages of using a combined two-stage SRR processing scheme for significantly reducing inference artefacts and improving effective resolution in comparison to other SRR techniques. We demonstrate the optimality of OpTiGAN for SRR of ultra-high-resolution satellite images and video frames from 31 cm/pixel WorldView-3, 75 cm/pixel Deimos-2 and 70 cm/pixel SkySat. Detailed qualitative and quantitative assessments are provided for the SRR results on a CEOS-WGCV-IVOS geo-calibration and validation site at Baotou, China, which features artificial permanent optical targets. Our measurements have shown a 3.69 times enhancement of effective resolution from 31 cm/pixel WorldView-3 imagery to 9 cm/pixel SRR.
