In this picture we can examine
a method for raster data rectification. In the lower left window of each
one, we have the red vector "coverage" (island of Salamina, near
Piraeus), that is established in a certain projection system & its
elements have "real" coordinates. The black & white (upper
of it) picture is a raster (scanned) image of the same area & we want
to transform it from its ”paperā coordinates to the real ones. Adjusting
frames in these two small windows, we define the areas we want to overlay
& then we put the first 4 links (green arrows in the right window of
the 1st picture). After the first registration (which brings us to the
2nd picture), we put more links to achieve better transformation, trying
also to have low RMS values, by deleting and keeping the most proper ones
(see the two upper windows).
