Abstract
Abstract One of the objectives of remote sensing is to go beyond simple visual interpretation in order to provide the user with quantitative information for producing documents that conform to cartographic standards and for deriving digital data files compatible with geographical information systems (GIS). In this framework, rigorous geometrical correction is essential. Error sources which introduce geometrical image distortions are related to the platform vector (attitude, altitude, speed), the sensor (distortions, oblique viewing), and to the earth (rotation, earth curvature, ellipsoid, relief). Many methods can be applied for correcting each error separately or for globally correcting the image from all geometrical distortions. This theoretical review has two complementary parts. The first section deals with errors causing deformations on satellite images and related to the platform vector, the sensor and the earth, as well as the mathematical formulation for each error. In the second section, we discu...
