Abstract
A computationally efficient method, system and programmed medium according to the present invention creates highly accurate maps of celestial bodies, spanning multiple UTM zones given sparse control points on the celestial body surface without requiring the existence or synthesis of a mathematical model of the satellite image sensor. The present invention provides an improved method and system for producing orthorectification coefficients needed to produce highly accurate maps of the surface of celestial bodies that span multiple UTM zones.
