G rect - Une boite à outils Matlab pour géoréférencer des images

Introduction

This toolbox contains a series of Matlab functions for georectifying highly oblique digital images. This is useful in oceanography for obtaining quantitative information on sea-surface patterns such as those induced by internal waves, fronts or sea-ice.

Although this toobox was initially developed to georectify geophysical images it can be used just as well for rectifying laboratory images. The following images show examples of such image rectifications.

Example of a geophysical photo showing sea-ice distribution in the St. Lawrence Estuary.

Same as previous photo once georectified.

Example of a laboratory basin photo.

Same as previous once georectified.
