In this study, as one of the ways to utilize spatial big data, the possibility of using location-based social service network data in the processing of satellite images, especially in the geometric correction process was identified. After identifying the criteria for selecting ground control points used in the geometric correction process of satellite images, a location-based social network service data was used as ground control points. After analyzing Foursquare data, a location-based social network data, to select data that could be used as a ground reference point, a location accuracy evaluation was performed on this data to determine whether it could be used as reference data for ground reference points. The ground control points selected through this process were applied to the geometric correction process of satellite images to identify their usability. As a result, accurate ground reference points were effectively selected by using location-based social network service data, and geometric corrected satellite image was generated with improved location information.
