A robust on-orbit geometric calibration (GC) method based on the rational polynomial coefficient (RPC) model for spaceborne segmented linear-array camera is proposed. Through a series of processing steps, including obtaining reliable ground control point (GCP) observations based a priori gross error elimination, constructing the adjustment model for GC parameters, GC for absolute geometric distortion, GC for relative geometric distortions among segmented charge-coupled devices (CCDs), and the correction for the created bias field-of-view (FOV) distortion, this invention is able to achieve robust GC for camera distortion, as well as accurate geometric splicing and registration of segmented CCDs under the same geometric benchmark.
