The Thermal Infrared Spectrometer (TIS), which has high spatial resolution among spaceborne thermal infrared sensors at present, and global data acquisition capability, is one of the sensors equipped in the SDGSAT-1. It is an important complement to the existing international mainstream satellites. In order to produce standard data products, rapidly and accurately, the automatic registration and geometric correction method needs to be developed. Unlike visible\u2013visible image registration, thermal infrared images are blurred in edge details and have obvious non-linear radiometric differences from visible images, which make it challenging for the TIR-visible image registration task. To address these problems, homomorphic filtering is employed to enhance TIR image details and the modified RIFT algorithm is proposed to achieve TIR-visible image registration. Different from using MIM for feature description in RIFT, the proposed modified RIFT uses the novel binary pattern string to descriptor construction. With sufficient and uniformly distributed ground control points, the two-step orthorectification framework, from SDGSAT-1 TIS L1A image to L4 orthoimage, are proposed in this study. The first experiment, with six TIR-visible image pairs, captured in different landforms, is performed to verify the registration performance, and the result indicates that the homomorphic filtering and modified RIFT greatly increase the number of corresponding points. The second experiment, with one scene of an SDGSAT-1 TIS image, is executed to test the proposed orthorectification framework. Subsequently, 52 GCPs are selected manually to evaluate the orthorectification accuracy. The result indicates that the proposed orthorectification framework is helpful to improve the geometric accuracy and guarantee for the subsequent thermal infrared applications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14061393","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,15]],"date-time":"2022-03-15T02:56:20Z","timestamp":1647312980000},"page":"1393","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["A TIR-Visible Automatic Registration and Geometric Correction Method for SDGSAT-1 Thermal Infrared Image Based on Modified RIFT"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Jinfen","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100094, China"},{"name":"International Research Center of Big Data for Sustainable Development Goals (CBAS), Beijing 100094, China"},{"name":"College of Resource and Environment, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bo","family":"Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100094, China"},{"name":"International Research Center of Big Data for Sustainable Development Goals (CBAS), Beijing 100094, China"},{"name":"College of Resource and Environment, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiaoping","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100094, China"},{"name":"College of Resource and Environment, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3572-4415","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tengfei","family":"Long","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100094, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bo","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100094, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Guizhou","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100094, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Degang","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100094, China"},{"name":"College of Resource and Environment, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"111216","DOI":"10.1016\/j.rse.2019.111216","article-title":"A new thermal infrared channel configuration for accurate land surface temperature retrieval from satellite data","volume":"231","author":"Zheng","year":"2019","journal-title":"Remote Sens.
