Abstract
The motion information of a moving target can be recorded in a single image
by a push-broom satellite. A push-broom satellite image is composed of many image
lines sensed at different time instants. A method to estimate the velocity of a
flying airplane from a single image based on the imagery model of the linear
push-broom sensor is proposed. Some key points on the high-resolution image of the
plane are chosen to determine the velocity (speed and direction). The performance of
the method is tested and verified by experiments using a WorldView-1 image.
