The geometric accuracy of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is one of key factors influencing its final application.However, themethod ofquantitative accuracy assessmentand erroranalysis forSAR imagery is stillvery lacking. This paper chose the representative satellite-borne PALSAR images to implement the experiments on geometric positioning accuracy, through establishing the imagingmodelwithDoppler, slantrange and the earth ellipsoid equations, and obtained thequantitative valuesof the systemic geometric errors and rectification errors. Subsequently, according to the fact that the elevation error is themain error source influencing the geometric rectification precision, computer simulation is used to discuss the systemic influence on the geometric rectification accuracy quantitatively, and the corresponding effect regularity from different facets is put forward,e.g.,elevation error to the view angle, the errorofview angle to geometric accuracy, and the unitelevation error to the geometric accuracy. Itcan provide some scientific evidence on the image processing and application of PALSAR images, more importan,t a new method for quantitative erroranalysis and geometric accuracy analysis ofSAR images.
