rectification: �Removing geometric distortion from a raster or a vector object.� Rectification is usually achieved by aligning raster features or vector coordinate positions with features in a base map or other coordinate reference framework.� Rectification may be used to bring several distorted image segments into a common framework so they can be combined into a larger image.
