i.points

[BARNES DAVID]

Dear Grass-users,
	I don't suppose many U.S. Grass users are out there on this weekend 
but I'm pressing on a project and having trouble with i.points.
	I attempted to i.rectify some air photos using Topo quad determined
UTM coordinates in i.points. Seemed to work O.K. for image #1 with col and
row errors < 20 units (actually image x,y coords are equal to pixels on input
image, ~ 1m) and target error <10. The overall rms error <10m, less than TOPO
sheet resolution -> I'm happy.
	The next image (#2) was processed in the same fashion. This time many
of the col and row errors are over 100 image units but the target errors are
still <10. Both sets of image points in the two i.points exercises (#1 and
#2) were taken from about the same places on the respective air photo so that
photo distortion should be similar and not that bad (not hundreds of feet!).
A third image was similarly processed with the same (bad) results as #2. 
	Both unsatisfactory rectified target images (#2 and #3) produced by
i.rectify misrepresent the input location reference points in the UTM
coordinate system as determined in d.measure "where am i". The locations of
reference points input for image #1 are O.K. in the rectified image.
	The last puzzle is that the two incoorectly rectified target
rastermap images (#2 and #3) do not display the entire input rastermap images
dispite instructions to set default region to be "minimum to contain entire
image" in the i.rectify interactive commands. Any ideas - wise advice?

	Sorry for the long message... but I'm struggling!
