Abstract The Gao Fen 7 (GF‐7) satellite is China's first submeter, high‐resolution Earth
observation and remote sensing satellite for natural resource monitoring, land surveying …

The GaoFen-7 (GF-7) satellite, which was launched on November 3, 2019, is China's first
civilian submeter stereo mapping satellite. The satellite is equipped with the first laser …

Precisely estimating on-orbit laser ranging and pointing systematic bias plays a significant
role in obtaining high accuracy data product for spaceborne laser altimeters. Current terrain …

At present, some mapping satellites, such as GaoFen-7 and ZiYuan3-03, are equipped with
both optical stereo cameras and laser altimeters that can synchronously obtain stereo …

The pointing bias of the laser altimeter would change because of the launch vibration,
variations in the space environment or other factors, which is one of the most important …

The positioning accuracy is critical for satellite-based topographic modeling in cases of
exterior orientation parameters with high uncertainty and scarce ground control data. The …

Satellite laser altimeters have been widely used in the surveying, mapping, forestry, and
polar regions and by other industries due to their excellent elevation measurement …

On-orbit geometric calibration of satellite-borne laser based on infrared detectors is the key
tool to ensure the elevation measurement accuracy, and the accuracy of on-orbit geometric …

The Gaofen-7 (GF-7) satellite is equipped with two area array sensor footprint cameras to
capture the laser altimeter spot. In order to establish a direct correspondence between the …

The GaoFen-7 (GF-7) satellite, which is used for Earth observations, is equipped with
China's first civil full-waveform laser altimeter. The geometric calibration of the GF-7 satellite …
