Orthorectification in remote sensing is used to geometrically correct satellite or aerial image distortions caused by terrain elevation and sensor lense etc. This book explains the orthorectification for different imaging methods such as frame, linear, and video imaging, for different imaged areas such as Greenland without ground features or urban areas with high buildings, for different types of sensors, such as videos and images; and for different requirements of processing speeds such as real-time, onboard, and PC-based processing.. It starts with the definition of orthorectification and provides a step-by-step introduction to the models, the algorithms, the methods, and Digital Orthophoto Map (DOM) quality control.
