Since MIVIS images are generated from an airborne sensor they are affected by geometric distortion. In this paper a speedy procedure for the geometric correction of hyperspectral MIVIS images using algorithms such as the polynomial model (PM) and the model of rational functions (RFM) is presented. The aim of the work is to achieve an effective geometric correction of MIVIS images using an optimal compromise between result precision and elaboration time. This method could be also applied to large areas (thousands of square kilometers).
