To effectively use the Luojia1-01 nighttime light data for global applications, the problems of relative and absolute positioning accuracy should be solved. This paper proposes a high accuracy regional geometric processing method of nighttime light imagery. We utilized a nighttime light image matching algorithm to obtain tie points, which are used in the planar block adjustment with ground control points. Then, orthorectification of all images is implemented. Finally, we obtain the nighttime light map of China by mosaicking all the nighttime light orthoimages. According to the experimental results for 275 Luojia1-01 images, the root mean square error of the tie points is 0.983 pixels and the root mean square error of independent checkpoints is 195.491 m (less than 1.5 pixels) after the planar block adjustment. The experimental results prove the validity and feasibility of the proposed method.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs11182097","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,9]],"date-time":"2019-09-09T04:12:40Z","timestamp":1568002360000},"page":"2097","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Planar Block Adjustment for China\u2019s Land Regions with LuoJia1-01 Nighttime Light Imagery"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Xin","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Remote Sensing and Information Engineering, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2569-7380","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Taoyang","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Remote Sensing and Information Engineering, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3987-5336","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Guo","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Information Engineering in Surveying, Mapping and Remote Sensing, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Boyang","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Remote Sensing and Information Engineering, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Peng","family":"Jia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"China Satellite Navigation Office, Beijing 100034, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhuxi","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Transportation Preparation Office, Beijing 100036, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuan","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"China Academy of Space Technology, Beijing 100094, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"70","article-title":"Luojia1 Scientific experimental satellite","volume":"7","author":"Guo","year":"2018","journal-title":"Satell.
