Welcome to the Geographic Transformer v6.0
Getting Started Guide
This guide provides a direct, project oriented approach to learning the capabilities of the Geographic Transformer 6.0 and higher. It is intended to guide the user step-by-step through some of the basic operations of the Geographic Transformer. It also provides "hands on" experience with real data. This lab manual is ideal for new users who would like to gain some experience with the application and for experienced users who would like to sharpen their skills. If you would like an in-depth training on the application we provide day-long courses that cover everything from a refresher on geodetic concepts necessary for GIS work to how to use the software.

The data you need to complete these exercises has been included with this "Getting Started" guide. Additional instructions are available in the Readme.doc that accompanies this help file. The labs presented in this manual range from basic procedures, such as point registration, to more advanced procedures such as batch processing. The labs are illustrated with diagrams and screen shots from the Geographic Transformer.
The Geographic Transformer is the set of components in the Blue Marble Desktop for:
Raster Georeferencing- Assigning geographic coordinates to an image
Transformation- Reprojecting image files from one coordinate system to another
Mosaicking- Combining a group of adjacent images into one larger image
Tiling- Dividing one large image out into a group of smaller files.
