Method for Improving Positioning Accuracy of Rotating Scanning Satellite Images via Multi-Source Satellite Data Fusion.
Article in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Rotating scanning systems are capable of acquiring ultra-wide swath satellite imagery, but they suffer from significant positioning accuracy degradation due to complex geometric distortions and the difficulty of obtaining ground control points (GCPs) over vast areas. To address these issues, this paper proposes a precise positioning method based on multi-source satellite data fusion. By comprehensively utilizing high-resolution images from ZY-3 and GF-2 satellites alongside DEM data, we establish a framework that integrates grid-based feature point extraction, high-precision matching, and multi-image joint adjustment. Specifically, we introduce a matching strategy combining geometric constraints with Least Squares Minimization (LSM) and a robust joint adjustment model to suppress geometric distortions. Experimental validation was conducted using a dataset covering the Beijing area. The results demonstrate that after joint adjustment, the planar accuracy of the imagery reached 4.01 m, and the edge matching Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) between adjacent images was 2.52 m. Furthermore, the cooperative positioning accuracy for segmented simulation data achieved 4.68 m in mountainous areas and 5.22 m in plain areas, meeting the requirements for meter-level positioning. These results verify the effectiveness of multi-source cooperative adjustment in correcting geometric distortions and significantly improving the positioning accuracy of rotating scanning imagery.
