Abstract
This paper presents a methodology for historical map registration with a multi-image affine transformation estimated with a simultaneous Least Squares independent model adjustment. The method is based on two set of equations for (i) image-to-ground and (ii) image-to-image points and provides the rectification parameters with a global approach where all the unknowns are simultaneously estimated. It avoids error accumulation of traditional progressive registration approaches implemented in commercial and open-source software packages. Different case studies along with pro and cons are illustrated and discussed.
