Abstract
Abstract. In order to take full advantage of SAR images, it is necessary to obtain the high precision location of the image. During the geometric correction process of images, to ensure the accuracy of image geometric correction and extract the effective mapping information from the images, precise image geolocation is important. This paper presents an improved analytical geolocation method (IAGM) that determine the high precision geolocation of each pixel in a digital SAR image. This method is based on analytical geolocation method (AGM) proposed by X. K. Yuan aiming at realizing the solution of RD model. Tests will be conducted using RADARSAT-2 SAR image. Comparing the predicted feature geolocation with the position as determined by high precision orthophoto, results indicate an accuracy of 50m is attainable with this method. Error sources will be analyzed and some recommendations about improving image location accuracy in future spaceborne SAR's will be given.
