    <p>Hi Richard:</p>
    <p>It sounds like you are in the world of  manually georeferencing
      or ortho creation.   This would entail identifying ground control
      points for each image and processing. <br>
    </p>
    <p>Assuming you do not need all 6000 images at one time, you could
      tag each image to its central location and then ortho or geo it if
      it is needed.  <br>
    </p>

                <p>Hi Richard:<span style="font-size:12pt"></span></p>
                <p>You would require a couple of things:</p>
                <p>1) Camera interior orientation which would include
                  the lens calibration</p>
                <p>2) exterior orientation which would include precise
                  coordinate at time of exposure as well as the pitch,
                  roll and yaw of the camera.</p>
                <p>3) the offsets from the camera film or sensor center
                  to the center of the aircraft gps antenna.</p>
                <p>4) an accurate DEM or your target area</p>
                <p>If you have the above data, you can autoreference
                  your images.</p>
                <p>If the images have a high endlap and sidelap, you
                  could use commercial software such as Pix4D or  Global
                  Mapper to orthorectify the images based on structure
                  from motion.  Check into drone orthorectification
                  software.</p>
