Tutorial/Practical-4: Geometric Correction using ERDAS IMAGINE


Tutorial – 4

Correcting the distorted Image using Geometric coordinates

For rectifying the image, we need to match up the road corners and river bends between the
distracted image and reference image. By clicking the Ground Control points (GCPs) will bring
you the Exact location of the picture. After rectifying the image, we can check the accuracy
using the RMS error at the bottom to clear any mess up points, and finally the newly
straightened image will appear using reference image.

Conclusion:
This Exercise demonstrated how geometric correction can successfully turn a distorted satellite
image into a highly accurate, reliable map. By Manually setting the GCPs and minimizing the
error, we were able to eliminate the distortions caused by the satellite’s angle and Earth’s
curvature. In the final, corrected image now perfectly aligns with real-world coordinates,
making it fully ready to be used for precise geographic measurements, mapping and spatial
analysis.
