Abstract
In this paper, a geometric correction considering the elevation for GMS S-VISSR data is described. In order to get high accuracy of the geometric correction in high elevation areas, the conventional geometric correction is improved in this paper. As a result, through the experiment using 4 scenes, the average and the maximum of errors in the proposed method are improved in comparison with the conventional method. Especially the each average of errors in the proposed method is less than or equal to 0.006 degree in the both direction of latitude and longitude, and the each maximum is 0.02 degree. Namely, it is shown that the proposed method has accuracy higher than the conventional method.
