Georeferencing
"Georeferencing is the process of aligning the raster dataset, with the help
of real world coordinates, to its actual position on the earth (globe).
 Raster data is commonly obtained by scanning maps or collecting
aerial photographs and satellite images, these datasets dont normally
contain spatial reference information.
 With aerial photography and satellite imagery, sometimes the location
information delivered with them is inadequate and the data does not
align properly with other data you have.
 When you geo-reference your raster dataset, you define its location
using map coordinates and assign the coordinate system of the data
frame.
 Georeferencing raster data allows it to be viewed, queried, and
analyzed with other geographic data.
Dr. Jaweria Shamshad, CEES , University of the Punjab
Steps to do georeferencing
The general steps for georeferencing a raster dataset are:
 Add the raster dataset that you want to align with your projected
data in ArcMap.
 Add control points that link known raster dataset positions to
known positions in map coordinates.
 Save the georeferencing information when youre satisfied with
the alignment (also referred to as registration).
 Optionally, permanently transform the raster dataset.

Types of georeferencing
There are two general types of georeferencing, that are:
1) Absolute Geo-referencing
 The image is georeferenced by taking GCPs (Ground Control
Points) with the help of GPS device, Google earth, Topo sheets
etc.
2) Relative Geo-referencing (Image to Image Registration)
 The image is georeferenced with the help of another already
georeferenced image

GCP (Ground Control Point)
 Ground Control Point (GCP) could be defined as a point on the
surface of the earth of known location (i.e. fixed within an
established co-ordinate system) which is used to geo-reference
image data sources, such as remotely sensed images or
scanned maps.
It is also known as Control Point (CP).
