Geometric correction

Geometric correction is a process used to adjust satellite images so they accurately represent the Earth's surface. Due to factors like the satellite’s position, camera angle, and Earth's curvature, raw images can appear distorted or misaligned. This correction aligns the image pixels with their true geographic locations, ensuring features like roads, rivers, and buildings are correctly mapped. It’s like fixing a warped photograph so that everything lines up properly on a map, allowing for precise measurements and analysis in applications like mapping, agriculture, and environmental monitoring.
