Orthorectification

Images captured from remote sensing platforms contain perspective and terrain distortion. As such they cannot be mosaiced together or overlaid on maps without first being converted  (“orthorectified”) to a common perspective, typically a view looking  straight down from infinity. 

This conversion process, however, is extremely computation-intensive and is thus a major bottleneck in image processing. Cardio Logic  has been able to remove this bottleneck with a patented 3D-processing chip that enables orthorectification at 10 times the speed of software alone.
