By Jagadish Kumar Mogaraju

Script from the year 2013 in the subject Engineering - General, grade: GRADUATE, language: English, abstract: Georeferencing is the process of assigning real-world coordinates to each pixel of the raster. These coordinates are obtained by doing field surveys - collecting coordinates with a GPS device for few easily identifiable features in the image or map. In case of digitize scanned maps, the coordinates can be obtained from the markings on the map image itself. Using these sample coordinates or GCPs (Ground Control Points), the image is warped and made to fit within the chosen coordinate system.
