Stitching and Geometric Modeling Approach Based on Multi-Slice Satellite Images

Time delay and integration (TDI) charge-coupled device (CCD) is an image sensor for capturing images of moving objects at low light levels. This study examines the model construction of stitched TDI CCD original multi-slice images. The traditional approaches, for example, include the image-space-ori...
