Abstract

In order to utilize remote sensed images widely, it is necessary to correct geometrically. Traditional approaches to geometric correction require substantial human operations. Such substantial human operations make geometric correction a laborious and tedious process. In this paper, We introduce concept of GCP(Ground Control Point) Chip and generate a GCP Chip for automatic geometric correction. GCP Chip is small image patch which has a GCP in reference coordinate image. GCP Chip will be used to match new images in geometric correction. We generated GCP chip using Landsat-7 ETM+ panchromatic band image in this study. Henceforth this result will support automatic process in geometric correction.
