          FIGURE 5.15  Distribution of GCPs in a urban setting where many quality GCP
          candidates are available thanks to presence of roads. (Source: Gao and Zha, 2006.)






























               FIGURE 5.16  Distribution of GCPs in a rural area. Lack of distinct landmarks
               makes the selection of quality GCPs impossible. Their spatial distribution is
               highly uneven as a result. (Source: Gao and Zha, 2006.) See also color insert.
