This is really informative and makes perfect sense..... makes my life a 
lot harder, but perfect sense

If I Could i ask a follow on question to this,

        What is the recommended processing paradigm for slightly 
off-nadir imagery where their is a need for a full [3x3] matrix mapping 
to take it to a consistent projection? ie the images have at a minimum 
perspective effects.

     the reason i ask, is i have a significant image pile that needs 
this re-projection to remove camera lens + perspective effects , to map 
it to a consistent conformal projection? Can i do this with gdal_warp? 
or do i need to code this up, and then go from their once their is just 
a rotation / scale left.

Many thanks

Joe
