Ortho-rectification in remote sensing is used to correct satellite or aerial image distortions caused by terrain elevation and sensor angle. This book explains the ortho-rectification 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, and...
