Research on geometric rectification of the quickbird satellite image

The QuickBird satellite image is the high precision commercial remote sensing image. With the high resolution and the complex product types, there are lots of problems about the geometry accurate rectification including the Ortho-rectification for the images in the practical application. According to the projects have done recently years, based on the application about using the high precision remote sensing image on the airport construction in Tibet, Yunnan, Sichuan area etc. This paper discusses several methods and principle about the QuickBird remote sensing image geometry rectification and analyzes the key technologic problems in the process of high precision Ortho remote sensing image cartography.
