restitution:� The determination of the true (map) position of objects or points; the image appears distorted or displaced on unprocessed aerial photographs.� Restitution corrects for displacement resulting from both tilt and relief displacement.� Restitution in classic photogrammetry is commonly achieved by analytical methods or through the use of stereoscopic plotting instruments.� The orthorectification processing step in TNTmips applies elevation information from an elevation raster object to an image to produce an orthoimage output raster object.
