OBJECTIVES
Get acquainted with the projection processes of open-source software.
Implement the process for the georeferencing a scanned sheet.
INTRODUCTION
The Geocentric Reference System is implemented in our country through the Magna-Sirgas network
using the ITRF 2014, epoch 2018.0 at a detailed scale. The above is set using the CGS and PCS
installed in open-source software or commercial at a semi-detailed scale. In this workshop, some
properties of the horizontal datum will be identified by searching the metadata of thematic sheets. Also,
it will be applied the georeferencing process to set the coordinate reference system to images and
scanned maps. This process is also called geometric transformation.
PROCEDURES
• Exercise 1
Please, fill out the table below with characteristics and concepts of the Coordinate Reference System.

• Exercise 2
Start the QGIS 3.10.7 software.
Upload the image file in raster format (GeoTIFF). Data source manager/Raster/Dataset:
228ID1_plot.tif.
Upload the georeferencing tool: Complements/ GDAL georeferencing. Raster menu /
Georeferencing…
In the new window, Open Raster: 228ID1_plot.tif. Put the four corner coordinates with Add Point tool.
Use the Zoom In to have precision in the process. Also, use the Pan tool. (Figure 1).

REPORT
Prepare a document with the IMRAD structure, cited and the respective discussion of the results.
