The paper analyzes geometric coverage of common remote sensors for earth observation. These are classified into two modes: spherical circular coverage and spherical quadrilateral coverage. Projective geometries of the two coverage modes are induced and simulation models of coverage in nadir and side imaging modalities built. Based on the simulation models, a universal calculation process is established for geometric coverage of common remote sensors, including transformations among six ground and spatial coordinate systems. Simulations are carried out with real satellite and sensor parameters,showing effectiveness of the proposed calculation process.
