Georeferencing in QGIS - Step-by-Step Tutorial

Welcome to the Absolute Beginner's Guide to QGIS, a comprehensive tutorial designed to help you get the hang of QGIS, the popular open-source geographic information system (GIS) software In this series we cover everything story from QGIS basics to advanced spatial analysis techniques We will do the face. Whether you are new to GIS or just getting started with QGIS, this series is perfect for you. 

In this video, we’ll explore the georeferencing system in QGIS, which allows you to align your raster images or maps with real-world coordinates. We will learn:

• Understanding the importance of geocontext.
• Preparing your raster image for georeferencing.
• Establishing a georeferencing scheme in QGIS.
• Adding control points and modifying your image.
• Saving and exporting your georeferenced image.

By the end of this video, you will be able to georeference your raster images and maps in QGIS, allowing you to blend additional spatial data for detailed spatial analysis
