from the expected nominal orbits or the ephemeris data. Twelve
absolute constraints are enforced in order to keep projection
centres moving strictly along appropriate elliptical orbital
segments. Thus, linear and quadratic rates of change in X, Y, Z,
which are eventually used as given values, are calculated. The
minimum number of full control points is 4 for the linear model
of attitude changes and 6 for the quadratic.

Kratky also provides direct projection equations from one space
to another (two image spaces, object space) by means of
polynomial mapping functions (PMFs). The PMFs consist of 3rd
- 4th degree polynomials with 11 - 16 terms, whereby the object
space is reduced to two dimensions by extracting the elevation,
i.e. the elevation Z is an independent parameter connecting all
three 2D spaces. The polynomial coefficients are estimated by
least squares adjustment after the sensor orientation is estimated
