Based on the geometric characteristic of ZY3 surveying and mapping satellite, this paper analyses the main error sources of the geometric accuracy of ZY3 satellite image product, and proposes a key technique to improve the accuracy of geometric positioning of ZY-3 satellite image products without the Ground Control Points. Firstly, 556 ZY-3 satellite images distributed in the central western China, with an area of 350 million km2, were used for the planar positioning accuracy verification. The results show that the planar accuracy of ZY-3 image without the GCPs is about 10.8 meters (1σ), and more than 96.9% of experimental image without the GCPs have the planar accuracy higher than 25 meters. Subsequently, the Digital Surface Model (DSM) produced by the ZY-3 three linear array image in Shanxi without the GCPs and the high-precise Lidar-DEM were compared. The comparison shows that overall vertical accuracy of DSM is higher than 6 meters (1σ), and higher than 5.5 and 6.4 meters (1σ) in plane and mountainous area respectively. So the validation confirmed the overall accuracy of ZY-3 satellite images, indicating that ZY-3 satellite can achieve a higher geometric accuracy.
