1. A method of mapping a target region image to a reference image, the method comprising the steps: acquiring a target region image; acquiring the reference image overlapping said target region image; determining a number of common subregions in an intersection of the reference image and the target region image; determining the offsets between the common subregions; computing a distortion map of the target region image over the intersection; and remapping the target region image to match the reference image and generate a remapped target region image; and transmitting the remapped target region image to a system configured to at least one of monitor or control movement of an aerial platform using the remapped target region image.
