3/47

Add dataset to be georeferenced

In this example NWFP mapis selected, else could be satellite image,Topo sheet, etc. the method will remain same

for other maps/images, if points are known.


7/47

Right click on the location enables to view the toolbar .


8/47


9/47

Add on fly projection, coordinate system before

starting Georeferencing.. This technique will enable youto insert DMS in selected control points, xy coordinatesmay also be entered during Georeferencing operation afterConverting them from DMS

12/47


13/47

Follow the Path:- Predefined---geographic coordinate systems.world.WGS-1984


14/47

16/47

Encircled locations of the map are selected for entering known coordinates in DMS


17/47


18/47

Left & then right click ..


19/47

Dialogue box allows to enter coordinates


20/47

Move towards next point.

All encircled points were entered with DMS.Rectify allows you to save the rectified image to desire location, format .


24/47

Browse for location to save the output file.Tiff format is used for its capability

Embed Georef information.


25/47

The operation is now completed, remove the image in order to insert rectified image.From where it was saved!!


26/47

Insert the image from where it was saved .the rectified one!


27/47

It is now rectified, its showing coordinates wherever you surface the map.The map is ready to be work on it


28/47

The coordinate system of the resultant rectified imageCould be converted to projected coordinate system like UTM, LCCin order to have area, length etc.

31/47

Follow the path:

Pre Defined projected coordinate system..UTM..WGS1984.Northern hemisphere..WGS1984 UTM zone 42 North


32/47


33/47

Now meters are shown in the lower corner of the map,


34/47

Changing coordinate system of image, vector file

from other sources!!

Coordinate system can be applied to the map fromArc Catalog and from tool box .


35/47


36/47


37/47

This tool works only when coordinate system is notdefined during Georeferencing or image is notalready assigned coordinate system.You may open this tool before starting Georeferencing asalternate of on fly projection.


38/47


39/47

Launch the application.


40/47

Here is our map

44/47

Follow the path:Pre Defined projected coordinate system..UTM..WGS1984.Northern hemisphere... WGS1984 UTM zone 42 North
