Digital images collected form airborne or space-borne sensors often contain systematic and non-systematic geometric errors that arises from the earth curvature, platform motion, relief displacement, nonlinearities in scanning motion, the earth rotation, etc . [1]. The intent of geometric correction is to compensate for the distortions introduced by these factors so that the correct image will have the highest practical geometric integrity.

One of the oldest studies in geophysical sciences is geomagnetism – the study of Earth’s magnetic field, also referred to as the geomagnetic field. The phenomena associated with the geomagnetic field have been researched and monitored for centuries by many countries…
