The invention discloses an
oil tank storage capacity determination method and
system based on
remote sensing image characteristics. The method comprises the following steps: (1) in a
remote sensing image, calculating a solar
azimuth by taking a sharp ground object near an
oil tank as a reference; (2) determining an imaging date and a solar
elevation angle of the
remote sensing image according to asolar
azimuth angle; (3) in the remote sensing image, calculating a
satellite azimuth by taking the sharp ground object near the
oil tank as the reference; (4) calculating a
satellite elevation angleaccording to the shadow length, the projection length and the sun
elevation angle of the sharp ground object near the oil tank; (5) selecting an oil tank needing to calculate the
oil storage amount,and calculating the height of the oil tank by utilizing the tank top shadow length, the projection length, the
solar altitude, the solar azimuth, the
satellite altitude and the satellite azimuth; (6)calculating the oil tank capacity according to the oil tank height and the oil tank
radius; (7) calculating the storage rate of the oil tank by using shadows on the inner wall and the outer wall of the oil tank; and (8) calculating the oil tank storage capacity by using the oil tank capacity and the oil tank storage rate.
