I work for a government utility company. Our maps are broken down into 500x500 square meter grids. We have scanned images (TIFF) of these maps that we need to overlay and digize. The maps and the scans are saved in different folders with corresponding map and scan being named for example 5049.dwg and 5049.Tiff respectively. In the past we have been Georeferencing in AutoCAD but we migrated to GIS for better accuracy. Each of these scans are the same size but have different coordinates as they are building blocks of a bigger map, like a jigsaw of sorts. Is there a way to automate the batch Georeferencing of these scans using either python or model builder?
I'm looking to do something similar. I'd like to batch georeference 11x17 Tax Assessment maps. I have a workspace of .tiffs for each map name and a corresponding GIS polygon for the page extents. I'll let you know if I find something useful.
Hello Amon,
These solutions might end up working for you.

Hopefully that helps!
