L'orthorectification est le processus de transformation d'une image brute en une projection orthogonale précise. Sans l'orthorectification, l'échelle n'est pas constante dans l'image et le mesurage précis de la distance et de la direction ne peut pas être effectué. Afin d'orthorectifier l'image, un modèle de transformation est requis qui tiendra compte des différentes sources de distorsion de l'image provoquées au moment de l'acquisition de l'image. 3, record 1, French, - mosa%C3%AFque%20orthocorrig%C3%A9e
