Yes Orthorectification means that an image is corrected in a 3D (X,Y, and Z)environment. Otherwise it is a Plane Rectification which is only 2D (X and Y). The quality of the rectification will depend on many factors though including the scale control used, experience of person conducting the rectification, number of control points used, and others. In relatively flat terrain, I have seen Plane rectified aerials be as accurate as orthos created using the USGS DEMs.

Hello everyone,
I have a doubt and some help would be greatly appreciated. If an image is ortho-rectified in mountainous terrain, can I assume that they are terrain corrected? Does ortho-rectification include terrain correction? I would really appreciate your comments, ideas and some readings to clarify my doubt.
Thank you very much.
Best Regards
Humberto
