GCP Tool Window;

28. 28. Click on APPLY on the Polynomial Property Window
29. Close the Viewer 2 Window or Magnifier Window
30. Activate the GCP TOOL Window by clicking on its Title Bar. In this GCP Tool Window

31. Click to turn off and on the automatic GCP editing mode.

32. GCPs. . Then the cursor will turn into a cross hair in the Viewer.


33. Then Click TOP LEFT CORNER of the Map. That will be taken as GCP Point 1
34. Activate the GCP TOOL Window and Enter the X REF and Y REF Values for the first GCP as the Geographic

Coordinates of the point
X REF : 77 30 ( Here type 77, after that leave one blank space and again type 30, then it will automatically convert into Decimal Degree values)
Y REF : 18 30 ( Here type 18, after that leave one blank space and again type 30, then it will automatically convert into Decimal Degree values)

35. Activate Viewer and Click at TOP RIGHT CORNER of the Map then this points will be GCP Point 2
36. Activate the GCP TOOL Window and Enter the X REF and Y REF Values for the first GCP as the Geographic

Coordinates of the point
X REF: 77 45 and Y REF: 18 30

37. Activate Viewer and Click at BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER of the Map then this points will be GCP Point 3
38. Activate the GCP TOOL Window and Enter the X REF and Y REF Values for the first GCP as the Geographic

Coordinates of the point
X REF: 77 45 and Y REF: 18 15

39. Activate Viewer and Click at BOTTOM LEFT CORNER of the Map then this points will be GCP Point 4
40. Activate the GCP TOOL Window and Enter the X REF and Y REF Values for the first GCP as the Geographic

Coordinates of the point
X REF: 77 30 and Y REF: 18 15

Then the GCP TOOL Window looks like


41. If you want to change the color for GCP points, Then select all the ROWS and block the COLOR Column, right click on COLOR Column and pickup required color for GCP Points.

42. Click on to solve the geometric model with control points
43. Activate the GEOCORRECTION TOOL Window

44. Click on to open the Resample dialog. From this dialog, you can choose the desired output file, resample method, and output information.. Then it will display the RESAMPLE Window as shown below

45. Type the OUTPUT File Name as RECT_MEDAK_56F11 and save this in the folder D:\ERDAS_Exercis_Files
