Rotation correction-based neural radiance fields for multiview satellite images

To address the issue of reconstruction distortions caused by using non-unified RPC models in 3D reconstruction with multi-view satellite imagery. In this paper, we propose a method termed Rotation Correction Based Neural Radiance Fields for Multi-view Satellite Images. Our method optimizes the satellite camera model and neural radiance field by integrating multi-axial rotational correction into the reconstruction task. By separately correcting the attitude angles along the <i>X</i>, <i>Y</i>, and <i>Z</i> axes, the geometric distortions in multi-view satellite images can be corrected. Furthermore, by setting the ray projection in the neural radiance field under the effect of variable correction rotation variables, our method allows simultaneous optimization of the correction rotation variables and the neural radiance field during back propagation. We conducted experiments using WorldView-3 images from different locations, comparing the reconstruction results of images corrected with traditional BA and our method. Our method achieved the best results.
