Image Rectification (Georeferencing)<br />

The Image Rectification feature in <strong>Global</strong> <strong>Map</strong>per allows you to load and work with any JPG, PNG, or TIFF<br />

imagery, regardless of whether or not spatial positioning information is provided with it.<br />

For example, you could scan in an image of a map to a JPG file, use the File->Rectify Imagery menu<br />

command to enter the coordinates of several points on that image, and then load it into <strong>Global</strong> <strong>Map</strong>per,<br />

properly overlaid with any other loaded data.<br />

Once you have rectified an image in <strong>Global</strong> <strong>Map</strong>per, you can then export it to any of the supported export<br />

formats to obtain a fully rectified image that can then be immediately loaded into numerous other imaging and<br />

GIS packages.<br />

If you find that after rectifying a file that you want to modify the rectification, you can simply select the layer<br />

in the Overlay Control Center, then right-click and select the Modify Layer Position/Projection option to bring<br />

up the rectification dialog for that layer.<br />

As-Needed Rectification<br />

There are two ways to rectify imagery in <strong>Global</strong> <strong>Map</strong>per. The first is to simply load the imagery file needing<br />

to be rectified just like any other file. <strong>Global</strong> <strong>Map</strong>per will automatically prompt you to rectify an image if it<br />

cannot automatically determine where on the earth the image should be placed.<br />

If you indicate that you would like to rectify an image when prompted, the Image Rectifier dialog will appear,<br />

allowing you to enter ground control points for the image in order to rectify it. This process is described in<br />

detail later.<br />

Batch Rectification<br />

<strong>Global</strong> <strong>Map</strong>per User's Manual<br />

By using the Rectify (Georeference) Imagery command under the File menu, you can select multiple images<br />

to rectify at a time. You will be allowed to rectify all images that you select, regardless of whether they<br />

already contain valid positioning information. In this way, you can correct poorly positioned imagery.<br />

Using the Batch Image Rectification Options dialog (pictured below), you can setup whether you would like<br />

to view the images after rectification, export them to one of several formats, or both.<br />
