Abstract
Discussed herein are devices, systems, and methods for multi-image ground control point (GCP) determination. A method can include extracting, from a first image including image data of a first geographical region, a first image template, the first image template including a contiguous subset of pixels from the first image and a first pixel of the first image indicated by the GCP, predicting a first pixel location of the GCP in a second image, the second image including image data of a second geographical overlapping with the first geographical region, extracting, from the second image, a second image template, the second image template including a contiguous subset of pixels from the second image and a second pixel corresponding to the pixel location, identifying a second pixel of the second image corresponding to a highest correlation score, and adding a second pixel location of the identified pixel to the GCP.
