Compute Registration
After pressing the "Compute" button in Georeferencing procedure the following window will appear with three choices:
You can register points, scans, any items or a complete project by
- Match names: coupling points / targets according to their labels, no combination search is performed, the points / targets are coupled by name.
- Best fit: tries out all the possible pair combinations to find the best fit. Recommended for a number less than 10 pairs of points / targets.
- Best fit 2: tries out some smart combinations to find the best fit. Recommended for a number greater than 10 pairs of points / targets.
The Best fit adjustment procedure performs an optimization by minimizing the least squares errors to find the best rigid transformation between the moving and reference point set.
The best set of correspondences between those points is found by evaluating the rigid transformations between the triangles formed by every combination of three moving points against similar triangles in reference point set.
The first option is much faster but it assumes that you are sure about how to match your points.
After you have selected either Match names, Best fit or Best fit 2, you can refine and make use of the results of the registration, in the Registration report dialog.
The Registration Report dialog is shown at the end of the process.
