The explosive growth of multisource Remote Sensing (RS) data poses challenges to the application of fusion analysis. Discrete Global Grid System (DGGS) is a digital earth reference model supporting integration and analysis of multisource and multiscale geospatial data. In this study, a Rhombic Triacontahedron (RT) hexagonal DGGS is chosen as the basic digital framework to improve the overall fitting accuracy to the Earth and the spatial sampling efficiency of the grid which is conceptually equivalent to pixel. A mathematical model of hexagonal pixels of RS images is established, and the storage scheme of hexagonal pixels compatible with open-standard format is also proposed. First, the RS images are gridded according to the geographical location, and the hexagonal DGGS modeling of RS image was completed. Secondly, a rigorous correspondence between hexagon and rectangular pixels is established geometrically to preserve the neighborhood information of hexagon pixels by improving the way of double offset coordinates mapped to the rectangular array. Then, the GeoTIFF open-standard format is used to accurately store the hexagonal pixel values, projection and transformation parameters. Finally, a multiscale hexagonal DGGS generation algorithm based on the hexagonal DGGS standard dataset is designed. Experiment results show that using RT hexagonal equal area grid to organize global scale RS images can realize uniform sampling of global data, ensure the overall consistency of cells in different latitudes, avoid drastic changes of cells in high latitudes, and be more suitable for global scale data processing and analysis. The proposed storage scheme can not only ensure that the hexagon pixel RS image dataset is compatible with the standard file format, but also ensure that the rectangular pixels correspond to the hexagon pixels one by one. Hexagonal pixels could be stored in the open-standard format GeoTIFF with a fixed pattern in the form of rectangular arrays for data access, with transformation parameters and metadata used to reconstruct the hexagons. The image information and spatial distribution characteristics of hexagonal DGGS data are preserved well, which is more advantageous than the Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) data organization scheme. This scheme break through the hexagonal with rectangular pixels in RS image data organization barriers, GIS/RS software that can be read using common hexagon pixels in RS image, and can complete the hexagonal pixels by the operation of the rectangular pixel equivalent processing, is expected to promote hexagon global discrete grid systems in RS data organization, processing, sharing, and other applications.
