5. CS 128/ES 228 - Lecture 10a5 Using paper maps in a GIS 1. Scan to image file (usually JPEG or GIF) 2. Georeference the image to the GIS coordinate system 3. (If desired) digitize the features in the image to generate 1+ vector layers

6. CS 128/ES 228 - Lecture 10a6 Georeferencing raster images Spatial coordinates may be absent or purely map coordinates (i.e. inches from one corner) Control points: point features visible on both the image and the map Linear or nonlinear transformations “Rubber sheeting”

18. CS 128/ES 228 - Lecture 10a18 Digitizing raster layers Digitizing table high resolution (0.001”) either point or stream mode paper shrinkage/ expansion data in “table coordinates” – need to convert to map coordinates

19. CS 128/ES 228 - Lecture 10a19 “Heads up” digitizing Tracing on computer monitor: many scanned (raster) file formats supported poorer resolution, but uses less specialized equipment best for adding small # features or updating a file uses coordinate system of image or base map

20. CS 128/ES 228 - Lecture 10a20 Aerial photographs HUGE amount of detail VAST number of photographs are available, often for free Digitizing and photo- interpretation can produce vector layers and attribute data

26. CS 128/ES 228 - Lecture 10a26 Vertical relief -> displacement Transmission line is straight - why does the line appear straight in one photo and jagged in the second? In left photo, line is ~ on nadir; in right photo, the line is far from nadir Image from Avery. Interpretation of Aerial Photographs.

30. CS 128/ES 228 - Lecture 10a30 Rectification of aerial photographs Rectification: process of geometric correction that turns an aerial photograph into a planimetric (map-like) image Problems: Earth curvature lens distortion camera tilt terrain relief

31. CS 128/ES 228 - Lecture 10a31 Rectification process 1.Scan aerial photograph at high resolution 2.Locate ground control points on scanned image: ≥3 for affine transformation ≥5 for rubbersheeting 3.Combine with digital elevation model (DEM) to correct relief displacement 4.Rectify to a ground coordinate system
