Abstract

The processes of rectification and registration that conducted at the satellite
images of the most important steps in images interpretation and extract information
for use in various applications of remote sensing. There are things that must be
observed before entering into the details of the operation. There are a number of
important factors that must be considered. Such as the illumination angle, Sun-
Earth distance varies throughout the year. In addition to the effects of
environmental, climatic and weather such as cloud, haze, dusty weather, cover for
one of the dates, that affect the nature of the scene this requires effort and extra
work for the interpretation of these satellite images after removing the mistakes in
them when captured by the satellite. The first process applied to the satellite image
is the Pre-Processing process, and which includes radiometric and geometric
corrections.
In this paper, image to map registration method, of 1st order transform, has
been performed to correct the SPOT image from geometric errors using geoimage
of “UTM” projection. The total RMS error, which has been reached, was less than
one meter,. The results were obtained using the ready program (ENVI).
