idea Georeference using lines or polygons as control points in ArcGIS Pro Ideas https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/georeference-using-lines-or-polygons-as-control/idi-p/1615396 <P>When georeferencing imagery such as site plans (or even aerial imagery from different dates/sources), it is not always possible to find specific points that can be matched exactly between the source and target visuals. In many cases, users can achieve more accurate results by matching the approximate&nbsp;<EM>centers</EM> of polygons (or lines). Instead of having to estimate the approximate centers, it could be beneficial to have the option to trace a polygon or line on the image and on the reference layer and have the&nbsp;<EM>centers</EM> of those polygons/lines matched up for georeferencing!</P> Fri, 16 May 2025 11:41:42 GMT JonahMiller 2025-05-16T11:41:42Z Georeference using lines or polygons as control points https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/georeference-using-lines-or-polygons-as-control/idi-p/1615396 <P>When georeferencing imagery such as site plans (or even aerial imagery from different dates/sources), it is not always possible to find specific points that can be matched exactly between the source and target visuals.

In this example I added 5 points.<BR />[cid:image003.png@01DBC89A.EC1C7B90]<BR />I hope that helps<BR /> Mon, 19 May 2025 13:53:08 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/georeference-using-lines-or-polygons-as-control/idc-p/1616003#M34825 LyonMNGIS 2025-05-19T13:53:08Z
