What is Orthorectification of an image?
Orthorectification is the process of removing the effects of image perspective (tilt) and relief (terrain) effects for the purpose of creating a planimetrically correct image. The resultant orthorectified image has a constant scale wherein features are represented in their ‘true’ positions.

How can I find old pictures of my street?
Once the Covid-19 restrictions are a thing of the past, take a trip to your nearest local studies library (sometimes part of your local museum or a larger library) or archive. These repositories usually have collections of old photographs, prints and maps donated by historians and other local people over the years.
How to perform orthorectification on raw satellite imagery?
This repository houses some methods and utilities to help perform orthorectification on raw satellite imagery such as worldview2/3/4 (RIP) panchromatic imagery. These algorithms were presented as a deep dive in the Charlottesville Data Science Meetup, February 27th, 2020.
Why do you need high elevation angles for orthorectification?
Low elevation angles of images, imperfect terrain models, and variability of sensor azimuth and elevation angles within an image limit accuracy potential if image orthorectification is attempted. For this reason, when new high resolution satellite image data is acquired over rough terrain, high elevation angles of the sensor is required.
Which is an example of the process of orthorectification?
Examples of this are features such as roads, vegetation, and water. Before this information can be gathered in a manner that is useful for a mapping or GIS system, the image data must be prepared in a way that removes distortion. This process is called orthorectification.
