Multispectral and Panchromatic Registration

Feature Description

Multispectral and panchromatic registration aligns the multispectral image based on the panchromatic image to ensure the quality of image fusion.

SuperMap ImageX Pro is supported starting from version 11i(2023).

Feature Entry

DOM Automated Processing Flow window -> Multispectral and Panchromatic Registration node.

Parameter Description

Parameter Name Description Type
Dataset

Displays the original multispectral image data used for registration and cannot be edited.

DatasetMosaic
Use ortho panchromatic data Checked by default. Uses Generate Orthophotos results as reference data. When unchecked, uses panchromatic data from original image as reference data. Boolean
Panchromatic data

Available when Use ortho panchromatic data is checked.

Displays the orthorectified panchromatic image dataset and cannot be edited.

DatasetMosaic
Correction model type

Provides Linear RPC Correction Model, Quadratic Polynomial RPC Correction Model, and Cubic Polynomial RPC Correction Model. Linear RPC Correction Model is selected by default.

  • Linear RPC Correction Model: Suitable for images with minor internal distortion. Requires at least 4 ground control points (GCPs). Add GCPs via Manage Ground Control Points.
  • Quadratic Polynomial RPC Correction Model: Suitable for moderate internal distortion. Requires at least 9 GCPs. Add GCPs via Manage Ground Control Points.
  • Cubic Polynomial RPC Correction Model: Suitable for significant internal distortion. Requires at least 16 GCPs. Add GCPs via Manage Ground Control Points.
CorrectedModelType
Number of blocks in column direction Number of column blocks for image division. Default: 12. Integer
Number of blocks in row direction Number of row blocks for image division. Default: 4. Integer
Minimum points per block Minimum matched points per image block. Default: 1000. Integer
Cloud mask Sets the data source of the cloud mask dataset. DataSource
Dataset Automatically removes tie points within dataset bounds using cloud mask data. No cloud mask dataset is set by default (retains all tie points). DatasetVector
Building detection Unchecked by default (no building area detection). When checked, automatically detects building areas and removes all tie points within detected ranges. Boolean
Export directory Uses the Processing path parameter from Set Image Path and cannot be edited. File
Resolution type

Specifies output image resolution method. Default: Original resolution.

  • Original resolution: Maintains input image's original resolution.
  • Fixed Value: Uses specified value as output resolution.
  • Custom: Outputs different resolutions based on satellite sensor types. Selecting this option opens the Custom Resolution: dialog. Click Add to create entries, select sensor types in Satellite sensor type column, and input corresponding resolutions in Resolution column.
    Notes:
    • Select USEDEFINE if the corresponding satellite sensor type is not found. This option uses the resolution specified for USEDEFINE for all unsupported sensor types.
    • When processing images from multiple sensor types (e.g., ZY3, GF-2, LandSat) with only one sensor's resolution configured (e.g., ZY3), other sensor types will output at their original resolutions.
OrthoRatioType
Coordinate system settings Uses the Output coordinate system parameter from Set Image Path and cannot be edited. PrjCoordSys
Output format Uses the Output format parameter from Set Image Path and cannot be edited. FileType
Compression method Uses the Compression method parameter from Set Image Path and cannot be edited. CompressMethod
Create image pyramid Checked by default. Builds pyramids using specified resampling method to improve image display performance. Boolean
Resampling method Available when Create Image Pyramid is checked. Default: Average. For more methods, see Resampling Method. PyramidResampleType
Asynchronously create statistics Applies stretch display based on statistics during image browsing. Images without statistics will display using default stretch method (no stretch for 8-bit data). Checked by default (creates statistics in background without delaying workflow). Unchecking creates statistics during tool execution (may take time). Boolean

Output

  • Exports orthorectified multispectral image data to local folder.
  • Automatically creates OrthoMuxmosaic dataset in OrthoData datasource based on multispectral orthoimage data.
