/** \class PhysicalToRPCSensorModelImageFilter
* \brief This filter estimates a RPC sensor models from a physical model.
*
* This filters estimates an RPC sensor model from a list of user
* defined GCPs. Internally, it uses an ossimRpcSolver, which performs
* the estimation using the well known least-square method.
* This filters estimates an RPC sensor model from a list of points
* homologous point in the physical coordinate system and the WGS84
* CS.
*
* The number of points used to estimate the rpc sensor model is
* defined by the GridSpacing, note that at least 16 points are needed
* to estimate a proper RPC sensor model, there are no warning when
* the model estimated is inaccurate.
*
* The UseImageGCPs flag allows to import GCPs from the image
* metadata, if any.
* metadata, if any.(TODO)
*
* GCPs can be passed to the filter using one of the AddGCP method
* implementation.
* implementation.(TODO)
*
* The first implementation takes geographic points with elevation (3D
* points).
*
* The second implementation accepts geographic points without the
* elevation information. In this case, either the mean elevation or
* an elevation fetch from a SRT directory is used, depending on the
* value of the UseDEM flag.
*
* If UseDEM is set to true, the DEMHandler is used to retrieve the
* elevation information. The user can either set its own DEMHandler
* using the appropriate setter, or configure the existing internal
* DEMHandler using the Getter.
*
* The RMS (root mean square) ground error is available through the
* appropriate getter.
*
* Please note that GCPs are infered to be given in physical
* coordinates. This is seamless in most cases.
*
* Please note that at least 16 GCPs are required to estimate a proper
* RPC sensor model, although no warning will be reported to the user
* if the number of GCPs is lower than 16.
* Depending on the value of the DEMDirectory, an elevation fetched
* from the SRT directory is used.
*
* This filter does not modify the image buffer, but only the
* metadata. Therefore, it is implemented as an InPlaceImageFilter.
*
* The output image can be given to the OrthorectificationFilter.
