My Project¶

Proposed by: <user name>

• Create cool stuff
• Make QGIS better

Visual GeoReferencing Tool¶

Proposed by: rduivenvoorde / Richard Duivenvoorde

• While QGIS has a working georeferencing tool, people sometimes ask for a more visually oriented georeferencing tool. What the want, is to load a project with a reference map, then (like current georeferencing tool) open a raster which will be shown (transparent) over/overlaying the map. By visually stretching and turning the raster, a couple of gcp's will be defined. Though this will not be working for higher order transformations, it will be good enough for scans which you only have to rotate and scale.
• I can help by providing high-res scans of (historical) maps and pointing where they are supposed to come on a map. Not enough into c++ to be helpfull as a technical mentor I'm afraid
• please feel free to add/change this proposal
