Georeferencing

This week we learned how to work with images, namely reduce noise with smoothing techniques and using gamma, contrast, brightness.  We also learned about light energy and albedos.


This map here isn't very impressive, but it isn't meant to be.  The assignment here was to georeference the above map without a coordinate system. We did this by selecting control points. I used NAD 1983 UTM North 15.  The control points I chose were at the top tip that looks like it is meeting a triangle, and the highway at the bottom.  Areas that are very distinct that I can see close up.
