+
+The class ```SensorModelBase``` is the new base class for sensor
+models. It inherits from ```otb::Transform```, which inherits from
+```itk::Transform```. It is templated over the data type, and input
+and output dimentions. All sensor model classes should inherit from
+it, and implement the methods:
+
+- ```SetMetadataModel``` that takes a boost::any object representing
+  the model;
+- ```IsValidSensorModel``` that returns ```true``` if the model is
+  correctly set;
+- ```TransformPoint``` that process the transformation.
+  
+#### RPC sensor model
+
+The RPC model is stored in the ```ImageMetadata``` object, using the
+key ```MDGeom::RPC```. The classes ```RPCTransformBase```,
+```RPCForwardTransform``` and ```RPCInverseTransform``` are used to
+perform forward and inverse transformation using this model.
+
+The abstract class ```RPCTransformBase``` contains the implementation
+of the ```SetMetadataModel``` method, which receives the RPC
+description from the ```ImageMetadata``` and instantiates a
+```GDALRPCTransformer```.
+
+The classes ```RPCForwardTransform``` and ```RPCInverseTransform```
+each implement there version of the ```TransformPoint``` method which
+uses the ```GDALRPCTransformer```.
