Georeferencing is the process of assigning geographic coordinates to an image or raster file from aerial or satellite. It is possible for several years, to obtain satellite images for free on the web from Google Earth.
In this exercise, an image capture on Google Earth somewhere over Morocco will be georeferenced. This is the same image used in the tutorial on georeferencing with MapInfo.
It is recommended to calibrate the image in a folder so that all generated files will be stored in that folder.
So to start georeferencing with Quantum GIS (1.8 Lisboa), click the Raster menu (1) > Georeferencer (2) > Georeferencer (3). A large dialog box opens.
