Automatic Registration of Scanned Satellite Imagery with a Digital Map Data Base.

Abstract

Analysis of digital remote sensing images can, and should employ all the information that is available about the area of interest. Maps often do exist, so that the question arises how map information can be automatically used to direct image analysis. With an appropriate organization of digital map data banks it becomes possible to merge image and map. Attention is concentrated on areal features. The algorithms and data structures used for the task are described and experiences using specific examples of Landsat images in Southern Germany and Austria to automatically recognize features for subsequent rectification are reported.
