Thereby, a corrected Crectified) image can be formed
succesively - pixel by pixel. In in view of numerical procedure
it is a time consuming process. Therefore, it is applied to the
reference pixels only (see Fig.3). For pixels which are located
within that reference mesh, the corrections can be calculated
using simple interpolation (the bilinear interpolation was
applied [Schuhr, 1983]. Only central pixel area sized by 3x3
pixels (see Fig.3) were corrected in this way. For the
remaining eight pixels, which surround the central pixel, the
intensity values of gray shade are transfered directly from the
eight neighbours of central image pixel Ci, 72.
3. Results of testing
The proposed method was applied to correction of two scanner
images taken for two different testing areas. (Image A in FRG
and Image in Poland). The technical data of the terrain and
images are listed in table 1. The same [Schuhr, 1983] or
similar [Rose, 1984] images taken by M^S Bendix scanner, and
[Babos, 19821 taken by C 5800 scanner were corrected.
