1. What is Geo-Referencing –
Georeferencing means that the internal coordinate system of a
map or aerial photo image can be related to a geographic
coordinate system. The relevant coordinate transforms are
typically stored within the image file.

Steps to Geo-Referencing
Step 1: Click on raster>geo-referencer. Window shown below will open.
Step 2: Click on settings>transformation settings then select “ESRI:102012 Asia Lambert
Conformal Conic ” in target SRS. And choose a location for output raster.
Step 3: Load the toposheet of the desired state. By clicking on open raster option.
Then select the 4 locations to add points i.e latitudes& longitudes of that point on
the toposheet then press start geo-referencing.

Step 4: Then Click start georeferncing. After that Geo-referenced toposheet will be
available.
