METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING RATIONAL POLYNOMIAL COEFFICIENTS UNCERTAINTY PARAMETERS OF EPIPOLAR IMAGES USING ADJUSTABLE PARAMETERS FROM RPC BUNDLE ADJUSTMENT AND ERROR PROPAGATION OF IMAGE TRANSFORMATION

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for determining uncertainty of rational polynomial coefficients (RPC) model of an epipolar image which is used for determining a three-dimensional location of a geographic feature by using a distant view exploration image. More specifically, uncertainty of RPC model is analytically determined by performing RPC bundle adjustment modeling by using ground control point (GCP) with respect to the remote view exploration image provided with an RPC coefficient, and by using an error propagation method using an adjustable parameter (AP) which is generated by performing the modeling, covariance thereof, and an image conversion function between an original image and an epipolar image.
