Popis: How to use multiple optical satellite images to recover the 3D scene structure is a challenging and important problem in the remote sensing field. Most existing methods in literature have been explored based on the classical RPC (rational polynomial camera) model which requires at least 39 GCPs (ground control points), however, it is not trivial to obtain such a large number of GCPs in many real scenes. Addressing this problem, we propose a hierarchical reconstruction framework based on multiple optical satellite images, which needs only 4 GCPs. The proposed framework is composed of an affine dense reconstruction stage and a followed affine-to-Euclidean upgrading stage: At the affine dense reconstruction stage, an affine dense reconstruction approach is explored for pursuing the 3D affine scene structure without any GCP from input satellite images. Then at the affine-to-Euclidean upgrading stage, the obtained 3D affine structure is upgraded to a Euclidean one with 4 GCPs. Experimental results on two public datasets demonstrate that the proposed method significantly outperforms three state-of-the-art methods in most cases.
