Georeferencing Drone Imagery in QGIS

As wonderful as it is to create a drone image mosaic, they aren't always located in the correct position. Not to say that other datasets are any better! Here I show you the process of image to image georeferencing. It's not perfect, but as my son says - you get what you get, and you don't get upset! I also show you how to incorporate Google Satellite data into QGIS, so if you don't need to do that, just skip ahead to 3:07 :)

I couldn't find georeferencer in plugins and it is just a free hand georeferencer which is not accept ground control points

Im not sure I understand this.. What is the purpose of referencing your ortho to google sat maps if the Geotiff is already geo-referenced in Pix4d? If you used the GCP's or your RTK/PPk/PPP correctly and the data is accurate, wouldn't you be degrading the absolute accuracy of your map by referencing it to the google maps?.. Would this be for when you have no GCP's or means of geo-referencing on site?

Hi, when I copy the URL to create my google satellite layer. My layer comes out white i.e. no detail of the new layer. Any suggestions?

Great tutorial. So, basically we are georeferencing with respect to X and Y and it works for Orthomosaic. Suppose, I have DSM and I want to georeference it in all 3 directions, that is, X, Y and Z. So, is it possible with this tool? If not, do you have suggestions/advices on how to georeference DSMs with respect to Z axis.

The Georef plugin is not available. Did they rename it?

What software did you use to create the image mosaic?

So, you export directly from pix4d to qgis?
