<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span DEFANGED_STYLE='font-size:
11.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I had posted a message regarding matrix
inversion errors encountered when using photo.2target in i.ortho.photo a couple
weeks ago, with no response. I was wondering if anyone could help me with this
problem, as the project I am working on centers on being able to orthorectify
aerial photographs as a part of a coastline erosion analysis program I'm
a part of.</span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span DEFANGED_STYLE='font-size:
11.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>I am able to get 6/7ths of the way through
i.ortho.photo, with the matrix inversion error being encountered during the
photo.2target phase of the rectification. I've tried running photo.init,
as the manual page suggests, but this doesn't make any difference, the matrix
inversion error always repeats itself. Even if I create a brand new imagery
group, and re-start the whole process from scratch, I still encounter the
inversion error problem. </span></font></p>

I really need to be able to create a true orthophoto from GRASS, as the rms
errors I get when rectifying in ArcView 8.3 are too high for my analysis!</span></font></p>
