Background

The objectives of this lab are to:

• Learn how to georeference rasters
• reiterate building persuasive and convincing maps

I have been asked by USU Campus Planning to provide a clearly labeled map of the Quad and figures depicting the various products you derive. They are particularly interested in whether or not I can provide them with higher resolution photography then the 2006 HROs from the Utah GIS Portal.

Description

For a detailed description of the methods conducted for these tasks, click here. item below

Task 1: Georeferencing a Scanned Historical Image

Task 2: Georeference Quad photo using existing imagery

Task 3: Georeference Quad image using Total Station Ground Control

Task 2: The images below illustrates the georeferencing processes of imagery collected from aerial photography taken from a blimp, While the map depicts the comparison between the georeferenced photo and the existing 2006 HRO imagery.

The images obtained by the blimp capture were not a full image of the Quad, so I merged two image together to obtain a full view. the final product is shown in the map below.

Task 3: The map below shows the product using coordinate points of total Station to georectify the quad image. Click image fo larger view.
