The images from the satellite and the airborne sensors that are included in the ResourceView Products are geometrically rectified to correspond to a map projection and reference ellipsoid chosen by the customer.

The correction is performed with ground control points from maps or GPS measurements. The quality of the control points directly affects the accuracy of the rectified image. Using a high quality digital elevation model (DEM) reduces the local terrain displacement errors due to registration angle and terrain hilliness.

Overall rms error of the image will typically be within 0.5 to 1 nominal pixel size under the assumption that the GCP's has the same accuracy, and that the terrain does not significantly deviates from the DTM.

The images from the digital sensors are also radiometrically corrected by applying calibration coefficients to each individual detector in the sensor.
