Didger-Georeferencing, digitizing, and coordinate conversion software

Georeference Data

Improve the accuracy of your project. Quickly transform unreferenced data files, vector data, or imagery into real-world coordinates for use in real-world projects. Didger offers 10 spatial transformation methods and automatically calculates the root-mean-square (RMS) error value to verify accuracy. Alternatively, shift features in any direction with mathematical operations. Didger automatically warps images to eliminate distortion.

Didger Spatial Transformation Methods


Affine Polynomial 1st, 2nd, and 3rd order polynomial Thin plate spline Natural cubic spline	Marcov spline Exponential spline Rational quadratic spline Inverse distance squared

Work Seamlessly with all Coordinate Systems
