Question 2.
Name one cause of geometric distortion.
Show hintHide hint
Consider the factors that affect how we capture data.
3Question 3.
What do geometric distortions affect in remote sensing data?

Show hintHide hint
Remember how ortho images differ from regular ones.
Question 5.
Given an aerial image showing severe geometric distortion caused by terrain elevation differences, outline the steps you would take to correct this image.
Show hintHide hint
Consider what tools and data you'd need for effective corrections.
Question 6.
