AutoGR-Toolkit is a set of modules to improve, facilitate and speedup the process of images georeferencing.
AutoGR-Toolkit, and the embedded tools (GGrab, AutoGR-SIFT, GeoRef-Filtering, GeoTiff-Converter and AutoGR-Photogrammetry) are distributed for free and can be redistributed (free of charge). This software is provided as-is. Redistribution or reverse engineering is not permitted. It is recommended that users download the toolkit directly from this website and subscribe to the dedicated Google Group page for updates and issues support/features requests.
For operational information and application, please have a look at the included HelpFile. Also check regularly for updates (button available in the top menu of all modules) and patches on our website.
A short description of the AutoGR-Toolkit modules:
GGrab:
Allows you to save a georeferenced orthophoto/satellite image (for personal and research purpose) of the area of interest from freely accessible WMS servers.
GGrab and GeoTiff Converter use the Geospatial Data Abstraction Library (GDAL)
AutoGR-SIFT:
Automatically produces ground control points for image georeferencing.
It is based on the automatic image matching in Computer Vision (OpenCV with image matching 'contrib non-free' modules, optimized and compiled from sources) as an implementation of the David Lowe's SIFT algorithm (http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~lowe/keypoints).
GeoRef-Filtering:
AutoGR-SIFT usually produces thousands of points in a few seconds and this module lets you reduce this number to a more manageable one.
GeoTiff-Converter:
It extracts geographical information from a geotiff file and it produces a .jpg/.png/.tif with respective worldfile.
AutoGR-Photogrammetry:
Using the global digital terrain model available online or a DEM provided by the user, this tool provides users with the facilities to extract X, Y and Z coordinates for each location in the world. It also allows to generate Agisoft Metashape, VSFM and sfm_georef points for photogrammetric 3D models georeferencing in complete automation.
Thanks to Gribouillis and pyTony from the Daniweb's Python Forum and all beta-testers for their immeasurable support for the creation of some special functions in this software.
IMS-FORTH provided the facilities and technical support to develop and finalize this set of applications.
OpenCV code and specifically developed scripts derived from that library, have been compiled against Visual Studio 2015 (64 and 32 bit versions).
If you are running Windows Vista or you experience problems executing the program, try installing the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Package and/or the Windows 10 Universal C Runtime.
If the problem persists, feel free to contact the author of the program (see the email below) for assistance.
