Daniela C Docan
Daniela Cristiana Docan is currently a lecturer at the Department of Topography and Cadastre at the Faculty of Geodesy in Bucharest, Romania. She obtained her PhD in 2009 from the Technical University of Civil Engineering, Bucharest, with her thesis Contributions to quality improvement of spatial data in GIS. Formerly, she worked at Esri Romania and National Agency for Cadastre and Land Registration (ANCPI). While working for Esri Romania, she trained teams (as an authorized instructor in ArcGIS for Desktop by Esri) from state- and privately-owned companies, such as the Romanian Aeronautical Authority, the Agency of Payments and Intervention for Agriculture (APIA), and the Institute of Hydroelectric Studies and Design. She also trained and assisted the team in charge of quality data control in the Land Parcel Identification System (LPIS) project, in Romania. For the ANCPI, she created the logical and physical data model for the Romanian National Topographic Dataset at a scale of 1:5,000 (TOPRO5) in 2009. She was a member of the workgroup that elaborated TOPRO5 and its metadata technical specifications and the Report on the implementation of the INSPIRE Directive in Romania in 2010. Prior to this book, Daniela worked on ArcGIS for Desktop Cookbook, Packt Publishing, which covers the following topics: designing a file geodatabase schema, constraining the geometry and attribute values of the data, geocoding addresses, working with routes and events, and using spatial ETL tools.

Georeferencing raster data

According to the online ESRI GIS Dictionary, the georeferencing process converts the coordinates of a raster to a known coordinate system in order to be viewed, queried, and analyzed with other spatial datasets you might have. The raster's Cartesian coordinate system is considered as a source (arbitrary) system The known or reference Cartesian coordinate system is considered as a destination (fixed) system.

In this recipe, you will follow the general concepts from the following diagram:

Georeferencing raster data

Note

For theory and worked examples about coordinate transformations in two dimensions and least squares estimation, please refer to:

  • Principles of Geospatial Surveying, Artur L. Allan, Whittles Publishing, 2007; chapter Coordinate Transformations, p.41-58 and chapter Least Squares Estimation, p.88-115
  • Observations and Least Squares, Eduard M. Mikhail, IEP-A Dun-Donnelley Publisher, 1976; subchapter Coordinate transformations, p.184-212
