The Toolkit: Key Steps in Building an Environmental Management Information System<br />

7. You will notice a new button “C” on the Table Button Bar.This button<br />

will calculate the fit and rms values for your control points. Press it<br />

and then look at the rms values in the RMS field.Typing OFF in the Use<br />

Pnts field can turn off any one record that gives you a high rms value.<br />

8. Keep calculating the rms and turning records off until you are satisfied<br />

with the total rms. Just keep in mind that you have to have 6 GCP pairs<br />

ON for it to work.<br />

9. Once you have completed this task you should see a new button on<br />

the Button Bar that looks like a pencil and paper.This button will write<br />

the world file. Press it and you will be ask where to save the file.You<br />

should save it in the same directory as the image itself.<br />

10. The next time you open the image and feature them into a new view,<br />

both will register correctly.<br />

Avenue Script programmers are continuously developing new scripts for<br />

georeferencing images in ArcView GIS (for example ImageWarp, Image<br />

Georeferencing, Rift).The scripts usually are in zip format and contain a<br />

text document explaining the tool and the installation procedure. Please<br />

check the ESRI homepage (http://www.esri.com/arcscripts), where you can<br />

download hundreds of scripts for free.<br />

Digitizing onscreen in Arcview 3.2 GIS<br />

ArcView 3.2 GIS does not allow the calibration of scanned images.<br />

However, for producing “quick and dirty” maps, a scanned map can be<br />

loaded for digitizing in ArcView GIS.<br />

1. Activate your JPEG and/or TIFF image EXTENSION<br />

Under File> Extensions >; put a checkmark (�) on “Image Extension”<br />

2. Open your scanned image<br />

(Select IMAGE SOURCE, instead of FEATURE SOURCE)<br />

3. Create a NEW THEME<br />

Specify the type (POINT, LINE or POLYGON) and give it a meaningful<br />

name<br />

4. Start digitizing on-screen.<br />

SAVE EDITS while you are digitizing to avoid loss of data in case<br />

of computer problems.<br />

5. STOP EDITING when finished.<br />

Note: : for digitizing polygons, you can use three types of digitizing<br />

modes for:<br />

• normal polygon drawing<br />

• splitting existing polygons into smaller polygons<br />

• adding new polygons to existing polygons with<br />

common boundaries<br />
