I am trying to follow the tutorial in http://www.qgistutorials.com/en/docs/georeferencing_basics.html to do the image georeferencing. But every time I got strange results.
My image is self created picture, with several known points (I obtain the coordinate of these points from handheld GPS receiver). I'd like to match the image to real world coordinate.
Following the tutorial, I got a geotiff file loaded into QGIS. The problem is that its position is totally wrong. Wrong position is around (0,0) in (lat, lng).
When I open the CSR property of the geotiff file, the coordinate reference system shows Selected CRS, USER100000 (as I'm expecting EPSG3857).
Could anybody help with this?
Set Layer CRS
to correct it. Once right, save the file to a different filename for future use.Raster -> Projection -> Assign Projection
orSet Layer CRS
are the tools to correct worng settings.
