/**
 * Create an RPC based transformer. 
 *
 * The geometric sensor model describing the physical relationship between 
 * image coordinates and ground coordinate is known as a Rigorous Projection 
 * Model. A Rigorous Projection Model expresses the mapping of the image space 
 * coordinates of rows and columns (r,c) onto the object space reference 
 * surface geodetic coordinates (long, lat, height).
 * 
 * RPC supports a generic description of the Rigorous Projection Models. The 
 * approximation used by GDAL (RPC00) is a set of rational polynomials exp 
 * ressing the normalized row and column values, (rn , cn), as a function of
 *  normalized geodetic latitude, longitude, and height, (P, L, H), given a 
 * set of normalized polynomial coefficients (LINE_NUM_COEF_n, LINE_DEN_COEF_n,
 *  SAMP_NUM_COEF_n, SAMP_DEN_COEF_n). Normalized values, rather than actual 
 * values are used in order to minimize introduction of errors during the 
 * calculations. The transformation between row and column values (r,c), and 
 * normalized row and column values (rn, cn), and between the geodetic 
 * latitude, longitude, and height and normalized geodetic latitude, 
 * longitude, and height (P, L, H), is defined by a set of normalizing 
 * translations (offsets) and scales that ensure all values are contained i 
 * the range -1 to +1.
 *
 * This function creates a GDALTransformFunc compatible transformer 
 * for going between image pixel/line and long/lat/height coordinates 
 * using RPCs.  The RPCs are provided in a GDALRPCInfo structure which is
 * normally read from metadata using GDALExtractRPCInfo().  
 *
 * GDAL RPC Metadata has the following entries (also described in GDAL RFC 22
 * and the GeoTIFF RPC document http://geotiff.maptools.org/rpc_prop.html.  
 *
 * <ul>
 * <li>ERR_BIAS: Error - Bias. The RMS bias error in meters per horizontal axis of all points in the image (-1.0 if unknown)
 * <li>ERR_RAND: Error - Random. RMS random error in meters per horizontal axis of each point in the image (-1.0 if unknown)
 * <li>LINE_OFF: Line Offset
 * <li>SAMP_OFF: Sample Offset
 * <li>LAT_OFF: Geodetic Latitude Offset
 * <li>LONG_OFF: Geodetic Longitude Offset
 * <li>HEIGHT_OFF: Geodetic Height Offset
 * <li>LINE_SCALE: Line Scale
 * <li>SAMP_SCALE: Sample Scale
 * <li>LAT_SCALE: Geodetic Latitude Scale
 * <li>LONG_SCALE: Geodetic Longitude Scale
 * <li>HEIGHT_SCALE: Geodetic Height Scale
 * <li>LINE_NUM_COEFF (1-20): Line Numerator Coefficients. Twenty coefficients for the polynomial in the Numerator of the rn equation. (space separated)
 * <li>LINE_DEN_COEFF (1-20): Line Denominator Coefficients. Twenty coefficients for the polynomial in the Denominator of the rn equation. (space separated)
 * <li>SAMP_NUM_COEFF (1-20): Sample Numerator Coefficients. Twenty coefficients for the polynomial in the Numerator of the cn equation. (space separated)
 * <li>SAMP_DEN_COEFF (1-20): Sample Denominator Coefficients. Twenty coefficients for the polynomial in the Denominator of the cn equation. (space separated)
 * </ul>
 *
 * The transformer normally maps from pixel/line/height to long/lat/height space
 * as a forward transformation though in RPC terms that would be considered
 * an inverse transformation (and is solved by iterative approximation using
 * long/lat/height to pixel/line transformations).  The default direction can
 * be reversed by passing bReversed=TRUE.  
 * 
 * The iterative solution of pixel/line
 * to lat/long/height is currently run for up to 10 iterations or until 
 * the apparent error is less than dfPixErrThreshold pixels.  Passing zero
 * will not avoid all error, but will cause the operation to run for the maximum
 * number of iterations. 
 *
 * Additional options to the transformer can be supplied in papszOptions.
 *
 * Options:
 * 
 * <ul>
 * <li> RPC_HEIGHT: a fixed height offset to be applied to all points passed
 * in.  In this situation the Z passed into the transformation function is
 * assumed to be height above ground, and the RPC_HEIGHT is assumed to be
 * an average height above sea level for ground in the target scene. 
 *
 * <li> RPC_HEIGHT_SCALE: a factor used to multiply heights above ground.
 * Usefull when elevation offsets of the DEM are not expressed in meters. (GDAL >= 1.8.0)
 *
 * <li> RPC_DEM: the name of a GDAL dataset (a DEM file typically) used to
 * extract elevation offsets from. In this situation the Z passed into the
 * transformation function is assumed to be height above ground. This option
 * should be used in replacement of RPC_HEIGHT to provide a way of defining
 * a non uniform ground for the target scene (GDAL >= 1.8.0)
 * </ul>
 *
 * @param psRPCInfo Definition of the RPC parameters.
 *
 * @param bReversed If true "forward" transformation will be lat/long to pixel/line instead of the normal pixel/line to lat/long.
 *
 * @param dfPixErrThreshold the error (measured in pixels) allowed in the 
 * iterative solution of pixel/line to lat/long computations (the other way
 * is always exact given the equations). 
 *
 * @param papszOptions Other transformer options (ie. RPC_HEIGHT=<z>). 
 *
 * @return transformer callback data (deallocate with GDALDestroyTransformer()).
