METHOD OF TYING AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE EARTH SURFACE Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC B64G1/10 B64G3/00 

FIELD: space equipment.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates, mainly, to satellites for the Earth observation. Binding includes measurement of parameters of the satellite orbit, orthotransformation of the image and determination of the point from which the image was taken. After the specified time after the first image, the second image of the underlying surface is performed at another value of the angle between the axis of view of the survey equipment and the orbital plane. Ortho-transformed first and second images are used to determine the geographical coordinates of the planet surface points corresponding to the specified points of the image. Determining two sets of points with coordinates which sufficiently accurately satisfy equations for determining, based on said points of the image, the cone tops of the field of view of the filming equipment. Orbital measured parameters determine the position of its plane during the survey period. Combination of points is determined, by one of each set, through which the line passes with minimum angle to the orbital plane. Points of said combination are taken as points from which shooting was performed.

EFFECT: technical result consists in accurate determination of points of space, from which photography was performed.
