1. A method performed on a processor of adjusting at least one image to provide a relationship between a ground coordinate space and an image coordinate space, the method comprising the steps of: obtaining an image having an image coordinate space; establishing a nominal relationship between the image coordinate space and a ground coordinate space; fitting a nominal parametric equation having at least one coefficient to the established nominal relationship such that the nominal parametric equation describes the established nominal relationship between the image coordinate space and the ground coordinate space; developing an adjustment model by combining the fitted nominal equation with a parametric adjustment equation having at least one adjustable coefficient; measuring GCP ground coordinates and the GCP image coordinates of at least one ground control point (GCP); forming observation equations using the measured GCP ground coordinates and GCP image coordinates; and solving for the at least one adjustable coefficient of the developed adjustment model using the formed observation equations and the developed adjustment model.
