The present invention concerns a method for correcting a digital image stored by a client device by geometric adjustment of this image onto a reference image stored by a server device connected to the client device by a communication network. The method is characterised in that it includes the following steps: obtaining, by the server device, at least one area of interest of the reference image, sending, to each client device, each area of interest, obtaining, by the client device, part of the image delimited by each received area of interest, said image part being either a part of the image to be corrected or a part of an image resulting from the image to be corrected, sending, to the server device, each image part thus obtained, determining, by the server device, parameters of the correction to apply to the image to be corrected, said parameters being determined by geometric adjustment of said received at least one image part onto the reference image, sending, to the client device, the parameters thus determined, and applying, by the client device, the correction of the image to be corrected, said correction using firstly the received parameters and secondly a ground elevation model corresponding to this image to be corrected.
