Coarse-to-Fine Image Matching-Based Footprint Camera Calibration of the GF-7 Satellite [PDF]
The GF-7 satellite is China’s first high-resolution stereo mapping satellite that reaches sub-meter resolution, equipped with new-type payloads, such as an area array footprint camera that can achieve synchronization acquisition of laser spots. When the satellite is in space, the variation of camera parameters may occur due to launch vibration and ...

Laser Spot Center Location Method for Chinese Spaceborne GF-7 Footprint Camera [PDF]
The Gaofen-7 (GF-7) satellite is equipped with two area array sensor footprint cameras to capture the laser altimeter spot. In order to establish a direct correspondence between the laser data and the stereo image data, a new method is proposed to fit the center of the spot using the brightness difference between the spot image and the footprint image.

Rigorous Sensor Model of Gaofen-7 Satellite Laser Altimeter Based on Coupled Footprint Camera
The Gaofen-7 (GF-7) satellite system adds a footprint camera that shares the same optical path as its laser altimeter to ensure consistent spatial referencing between the laser footprint point and the obtained optical images. However, this introduces additional errors between the two different loads while ensuring the geometric relations of the laser ...

Research on the Control Point Extraction Method of Chinese Gaofen 7 Satellite Using Altimeter and Footprint Camera [PDF]
Satellite laser altimetry is one of the most advanced information acquisition technologies in Earth observation system. It can provide high-accuracy elevation information, however, due to the lack of detail intensity information, its planimetric accuracy is usually worse than the elevation accuracy.

On-Orbit Geometric Calibration and Accuracy Validation for Laser Footprint Cameras of GF-7 Satellite
The Gaofen-7 (GF-7) satellite uses a two-beam laser altimetry system in which each beam is equipped with a laser footprint camera (LFC) to provide geometric processing of the laser footprint images that assist in optical image stereo mapping. Because of the violent vibrations during launch and the difference in the environment before and after entering

This paper considers the task of appearance-based localization: visual place recognition from omnidirectional images obtained from catadioptric cameras. The focus is on designing an efficient neural network architecture that accurately and reliably recognizes indoor scenes on distorted images from a catadioptric camera, even in self-similar ...

Range-Wide Camera Trapping for the Australian Cassowary Reveals Habitat Associations With Rainfall and Forest Quality. [PDF]
The Australian Wet Tropics rainforests are a biodiversity hotspot covering just 0.2% of the continent's land area. However, historic forest loss, modern fragmentation, and climate change continue to threaten these ecosystems.
