Implementation of the new sensor model mechanism, together with the
new RPC model based on GDAL.
Rationale
This Merge Request is part of the Remove OSSIM story (#1506 (closed)). It
addresses the definition of new classes for sensor models, and focuses
on the first 2 points of #2040 (closed): implementing an interface for sensor
models and implementing the RPC model.
Implementation Details
Classes and files
Create a new GDAL adapter to access RPC functionalities
Remove old Sensor Model classes based on OSSIM's Keywordlist
Implement new Sensor Model classes based on ImageMetadata class
Implement RPC model for forward and inverse transformations
Refactor the class otb::GenericRSTransform so that it uses
ImageMetadata instead of ImageKeywordlist
Update class otb::DEMHandler with the capability to put the
DEM to memory (MEM), so the RPC model can use it.
Update tests
RPC Solver (5pts)
Ossim provide an algorithm to generate a RPC model from a set of GCPs. This class is wrapped in OTB with the OssimRPCSolverAdapter class. There is no equivalent functionality in GDAL, and a new class RPCSolver has been developed. It uses the same algorithm as Ossim.
