-# Bias corrections
+# Bias correction
+
+In xDEM, bias-correction methods correspond to non-rigid transformations that cannot be described as a 3-dimensional 
+affine function (see {ref}`coregistration`).
+
+Contrary to rigid coregistration methods, bias corrections are not limited to the information in the DEMs. They can be 
+passed any external variables (e.g., land cover type, processing metric) to attempt to identify and correct biases in 
+the DEM. Still, many methods rely either on coordinates (e.g., deramping, along-track corrections) or terrain 
+(e.g., curvature- or elevation-dependant corrections), derived solely from the DEM.
+
+## The {class}`~xdem.BiasCorr` object
+
+Each bias-correction method in xDEM inherits their interface from the {class}`~xdem.Coreg` class (see {ref}`coreg_object`).
+This implies that bias-correction methods can be combined in a {class}`~xdem.CoregPipeline` with any other methods, or 
+applied in a block-wise manner through {class}`~xdem.BlockwiseCoreg`.
+
+**Inheritance diagram of co-registration and bias corrections:**
+
+```{eval-rst}
+.. inheritance-diagram:: xdem.coreg xdem.biascorr
+        :top-classes: xdem.Coreg
+```
+
+As a result, each bias-correction approach has the following methods:
+
+- {func}`~xdem.BiasCorr.fit` for estimating the bias.
+- {func}`~xdem.BiasCorr.apply` for correcting the bias on a DEM.
+
+## Modular estimators
+
+Bias-correction methods have 3 main ways of estimating and correcting a bias, both relying on one or several variables:
+
+- **Performing a binning of the data** along variables with a statistic (e.g., median), and applying the statistics in each bin,
+- **Fitting a parametric function** to the variables, and applying that function,
+- **(Recommended<sup>1</sup>) Fitting a parametric function on a data binning** of the variable, and applying that function.
+
+```{margin}
+<sup>1</sup>DEM alignment is a big data problem often plagued by outliers, greatly **simplified** and **accelerated** by binning with robust estimators.
+```
+
+To define the parameters related to fitting and/or binning, every {func}`~xdem.BiasCorr` is instantiated with the same arguments:
+
+- `fit_or_bin` to either fit a parametric model to the bias by passing "fit", perform an empirical binning of the bias by passing "bin", or to fit a parametric model to the binning with "bin_and_fit" **(recommended)**,
+- `fit_func` to pass any parametric function to fit to the bias,
+- `fit_optimizer` to pass any optimizer function to perform the fit minimization,
+- `bin_sizes` to pass the size or edges of the bins for each variable,
+- `bin_statistic` to pass the statistic to compute in each bin,
+- `bin_apply_method` to pass the method to apply the binning for correction.

+## Deramping
+
+{class}`xdem.biascorr.Deramp`
+
+- **Performs:** Correct biases with a 2D polynomial of degree N.
+- **Supports weights** Yes.
+- **Recommended for:** Residuals from camera model.
+
+Deramping works by estimating and correcting for an N-degree polynomial over the entire dDEM between a reference and the DEM to be aligned.
+This may be useful for correcting small rotations in the dataset, or nonlinear errors that for example often occur in structure-from-motion derived optical DEMs (e.g. Rosnell and Honkavaara [2012](https://doi.org/10.3390/s120100453); Javernick et al. [2014](https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geomorph.2014.01.006); Girod et al. [2017](https://doi.org/10.5194/tc-11827-2017)).
+
+### Limitations
+
+Deramping does not account for horizontal (X/Y) shifts, and should most often be used in conjunction with other methods.
 
-Bias corrections correspond to transformations that cannot be described as a 3-dimensional affine function (see {ref}`coregistration`).
+1st order deramping is not perfectly equivalent to a rotational correction: Values are simply corrected in the vertical direction, and therefore includes a horizontal scaling factor, if it would be expressed as a transformation matrix.
+For large rotational corrections, [ICP] is recommended.
+
+### Example
+
+```{code-cell} ipython3
+from xdem import biascorr
+
+# Instantiate a 1st order deramping
+deramp = biascorr.Deramp(poly_order=1)
+# Fit the data to a suitable polynomial solution
+deramp.fit(ref_dem, tba_dem, inlier_mask=inlier_mask)
+
+# Apply the transformation
+corrected_dem = deramp.apply(tba_dem)

 Iterative Closest Point (ICP) coregistration, which is based on [Besl and McKay (1992)](https://doi.org/10.1117/12.57955), works by iteratively moving the data until it fits the reference as well as possible.

 After the distances are calculated, a rigid transform is estimated to minimise them.
