In tasks associated with remote sensing of the Earth, optical measurements, in particular, correlation-extreme navigation, it is necessary to establish the correspondence between a reference pattern and an actually observed image. Currently, best of all the correspondence between raster forms is investigated. However, vector reference patterns have some advantages compared to raster ones. In particular, small volume, the possibility of linear and non-linear transformations as well as the possibility of correcting shooting camera distortions at small computational costs are the main advantages of vector reference patterns. Two different algorithms to establish the correspondence between vector reference patterns and raster images are considered in this article. Both are designed for navigation tasks. The first algorithm establishes the correspondence between a shoreline map and a raster image without explicitly extracting the borders between the ocean and continent in the raster image. This algorithm does not require high quality of cloud recognition in raster images. But the search for extremum of the similarity function between a shoreline map pattern and raster image requires significant computational expenses. The second algorithm includes the search for borders between the ocean and continent in raster images explicitly and requires substantially lower computational expenses. However, it requires high quality of cloud detection algorithms in raster images.
Keywords: correlation-extreme navigation, vector reference pattern, shoreline map
