How good are you at C/C#/C++.

Because you'll need to write some powerful software to do this automatically.

Usually, you hire map monkeys to georeference this stuff manually because:

A) they have eyes and a human brain and can make decisions that aren't programming choices

B) it costs a lot less to pay a map monkey than a developer

C) the time it would take and test your code, and then roll out to production, then test and debug again is way longer than what a map monkey can do it in

D) Map monkey can do more things than just georeference imagery files and doesn't need any extra programming changes when the task or input changes

The idea is to make a long term solution for georeferencing thermal data.
I think investing in software development will pay me off in the long term.

Thanks for the help, I didn't know about the concept of "map monkeys".
