Built a web-based map rectification system<\/a>. <\/p>\n ‘A what?’, says the masses.<\/p>\n The service will allow you to upload an image, and using a reference map, you can select ground control points — points from the reference map which match up to the uploaded image — and then warp the image. You can use any of a number of default base maps to reference against, or add your own WMS or KaMap layers to the map and use them to find ground control points.<\/p>\n Warping the image creates two kinds of output: a GeoTIFF, which can be downloaded for use in desktop GIS. Also, a WMS URL is provided for copy-and-pasting into OpenLayers applications.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Read more about it<\/a> in the new MetaCarta Labs Weblog<\/a>, and try it out for yourself!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So, what did I do with my weekend?
