Transformation is a process when the image is moved to a new position which is based on adding of control points. The map has to be sometimes deformed. Here you can set a default value for transformation. This is used as a default transformation for displaying of a map, 3D globe and Web map services (WMTS, TileJSON and XYZ).
Welcome to Georeferencer
Here you assign a location to a scan and overlay it on top of a modern map. Help us to give these maps a new life! It is a simple process.
Find the same place - side by side
Your target is to find the same place on the modern map and on the scan. Click on both of them. More points improve the precision. Quality matters.
After few points try Overlay & Clip
Use the Overlay to preview and adjust the position of the map overlay interactively. The Clip mode can remove a border from the map. Additional functions of the tool are explained under help.
Switching between the scan and the modern map.
Use the SHIFT key to toggle between the scan and the modern map.
Editing in Overlay mode
If you see a place on an incorrect position, click on it and choose where it should appear. The map overlay is immediately recalculated.
Accuracy & coordinates
Get coordinates and accuracy for individual points in selected transformation and map projection. It helps you to identify wrongly placed points
Clip the map borders
Drag the circle nodes around the area to create a cutline.
Detail makes a difference
Click on the point once to get in the detailed view for higher accuracy positioning. Press DELETE key to remove the point.
