How to perform satellite imagery orthorectification using self-built / custom RPC and ENVI Software. Part 2. Orthorectification with GCPs.

Satellite Imagery Orthorectification usually uses interior/exterior orientation information for the photogrammetric collinear equation to works. Satellite Imagery vendors usually gave this information to the users in a form of a sequence of constant numbers written in a certain format and can be consumed by photogrammetry software. This information is called Rational Polynomial Coefficients (RPC) and is usually provided along with other imagery metadata by satellite imagery companies. 

This RPC information became the backbone of orthorectification. Without this RPC information, orthorectification can't be done and can't be performed. Fortunately, some remote sensing software can compute this RPC information from the Sensor Characteristics information and it can also be more accurate if complemented by Ground Control Points measured in the field or measured from more accurate imagery. 

I will explain how to do this later. In this article, I will show you how to perform orthorectification using custom or self-built RPC I previously explained, and this time with supplemental GCPs as the orthorectification location references. You can check and watch the video tutorial below.
