OTB knows about a generic RPC sensor model that can attached to any
supported input file format.
This is represented by the "geom" file that the "GenerateRPCSensorModel"
creates.

If your image is "myimage.tif", then put the geom file created by
GenerateRPCSensorModel next to it, and rename it "myimage.geom".
Then the OTB orthorectification application will recognize it and will
be able to orthorectify your image.

I assume you mean transforming the RPC coefficient in the ouput ".geom"
file into standard GeoTIFF tags.
This is possible of course, but there is nothing in OTB to do that right
now.
This would be a nice feature to add in OTB, since it would make the RPC
coefficient computed with OTB available to other software in a
standardized way.

This shall be quite simple to implement, using the GDAL API (it would
then be also available for the NITF format).
If you come up with a piece of code that does the job, even a prototype,
I hope you can open source it.
We could then use it as a support for implementing the functionnality in
OTB.

On second thought, I think having this as an OTB application would be
nice : from any input file in sensor model geometry, we could generate a
GeoTIFF/NITF with standard RPC tags, that approximate the sensor model.
