[gdal-dev] RPC to geotransform converting

[Even Rouault]

You mean the HEIGHT_OFFSET parameter in the RPC ? Yes, that can 
generally be used as a first-order correction if you don't use a DEM. 
I'm not sure using it vs not-using it has been a deliberate choice. One 
could say that with the current behavior people know that something is 
wrong and must thus set something additional. There was a related 
discussion in https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/36385. A non breaking 
change would be to make -to RPC_HEIGHT=HEIGHT_OFFSET work
