·Traditional photogrammetric based on each image individually corrected to obtain the orthophoto Image, and then through the mosaic, so that each image parallax minimum. But for Titan photo, Ortho rectification way is just the opposite: Orthophoto above each of the pixels are considered separately, each point is through it in the original image as points combined with it in DSM elevation information to determine. This process is fully automated, is also distributed. It can ensure the ground every point is from the vertical angle (of the high-rise building tilt can be eliminated).·Titan photo has advanced image processing algorithms and many years of accumulation of technology, which represents the current remote sensing image processing technology to the latest development direction.200 kinds of advanced algorithm: sensor calibration, the original image enhancement (atmospheric correction, correction, ionization) fast multi sensor aerial triangulation, rapid automatic generation and remove connection point, automatic extraction of concentrated DSM, real radio correction and traditional geometric correction, automatically by the DTM to automatic generation of contour, mosaic (orthophoto, elevation image and the second generation damascene), image enhancement (local uniform light, contrast, balance compensation etc.).·Titan photo through the establishment of image mosaic plug (SGM) on the existing digital orthophoto mosaic images, rapid update.
