Description

The simplified tool for generating ortho mosaic is Tawny, it is an interface to the Porto tool. The use of Tawny is quite simple because it assumes that the data have been correctly prepared and organized during the matching process. Practically this is done when the matching has been made using Malt and it is recommended to only use Tawny in conjunction with Malt. In Ortho Mode, Malt has created a set of individual ortho images, associated mask, incidence image, . . . in a directory Ortho-MEC-Malt/ The job of Tawny is essentially to merge these data and to optionally do some radiometric equalization.

For the radiometric equalization, Tawny will compute for each individual ortho image [math]O_i[/math] a polynom [math]P_i[/math] such that, [math]∀(i, j, x, y)[/math] where ortho image [math]O_i[/math] and [math]O_j[/math] are both defined in at the ground coordinates [math](x, y)[/math] we have the relation:

  • [math]O_i(x, y)*P_i(x, y) = O_j(x, y)*P_j(x, y)[/math]    (1)

The problem with such formula is that it can lead to important drift in radiometry. So there is also a global polynom R that is computed, this polynom is such that:

  • [math]O_i(x, y)*P_i(x, y)*R(x, y) = O_i(x, y)[/math]    (2)

The radiometry of each image used for the ortho photo will finally be [math]O_i(x, y)P_i(x, y)R(x, y)[/math]. Of course for equation (1) and (2), there is much more observations than unknowns and they are solved using least mean square. The user can control the radiometric equalization by specifying the degree of the polynom.

If the polynomial correction fail at computing a good radiometric product, the user can deactivate it using RadiomEgal=0 .
