AutoLandmark is a fully automated image registration technique capable of performing real time landmark registration. It's based on a correlation algorithm used to match the shoreline of a measured landmark to the corresponding shoreline extracted from a digital map. A cloud detection process implemented in AutoLandmark identifies cloudy pixels to avoid erroneous measurements from cloudy scenes.The validity of a measurement obtained with Autolandmark is determined by a quality metric (QM) which is calculated using several factors including the goodness-of-fit of the matching algorithm, scene cloudiness, and scene contrast. AutoLandmark is implemented in the Replacement Product Monitor (RPM) for landmark registration of the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) imagery with subpixel accuracy. The RPM is part of the GOES Spacecraft Ground System and has been operational since 2001, producing more than a thousand daily landmark measurements.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
