#6162 closed defect (fixed)

RPC transformer: RPCInverseTransformPoint() doesn't check convergence

Reported by: Even Rouault Owned by: Even Rouault
Priority: normal Milestone: 2.1.0
Component: Algorithms Version: unspecified
Severity: normal Keywords: rpc dem
Cc: warmerdam

Description

RPCInverseTransformPoint() doesn't check that the guessed (long, lat) has converged within the tolerance and thus the transformer can return a completely wrong result.

Furthermore during the iterations, it doesn't take into account the DEM elevation, only in a post processing stage. We might get better convergence by updating it at each iteration.
