Abstract
Analytical techniques have been designed, tested and implemented that provide automated procedures for referencing terrain locations defined by ground coordinates in digital images. Based on principles of analytical photogrammetry, these techniques termed projective sampling, rigorously account for camera position and orientation Corrections for lens distortion, atmospheric refraction, film deformation and other sources of systematic distortion can be incorporated. A ground coordinate data base, an image digitizer which also serves as a comparator and well-defined imaging geometry, such as that of frame cameras, are required.
