orthorectification,aerial photographs

[Schmidt]

I've had good success using r.in.gif for bringing scanned aerial photos into
GRASS and using i.ortho.photo to perform the ortho corrections. To do the
corrections for relief distortion, you will need a GRASS raster elevation
map for the area. You will also need to input information on the aerial
camera characteristics (focal length and fiducial measurements). You will
then need to record the locations of the fuducial marks on the scanned
photo, register the photo to some other rectified image or map, and then
rectify it.  

If you have further questions, I will try to help.
