Image rectification is a transformation process used to project two-or-more images onto a common image plane. It corrects image distortion by transforming the image into a standard coordinate system.
- It is used in computer stereo vision to simplify the problem of finding matching points between images.
- It is used in geographic information systems to merge images taken from multiple perspectives into a common map coordinate system.

Famous quotes containing the word image:
“All things uncomely and broken, all things worn out and old,
The cry of a child by the roadway, the creak of a lumbering cart,
The heavy steps of the ploughman, splashing the wintry mould,
Are wronging your image that blossoms a rose in the deeps of my heart.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
