[QGIS-Developer] KMZ Embedded Ground Overlays to QGIS

[geodrinx at gmail.com]

Hello Calvin,

take a look of GEarthView plugin, where I define all the four corners of image.
Normally, by default, KML ground overlay defines only minX,minY and maxX,maxY two points, but this is not enough for geo reference images that are not in 4326. 
So, you need to use the other settings of KML that permits to declare all the four corners. 
If you have not just done, install GEarthView plugin, and see what is the syntax of my doc.kml saved file. 

Best regards

I think that in order to make this work I would need to extract the images from the KMZ file and come up with the proper transformation to use with GDAL and create a GeoTIFF of each file. The GeoTIFFs could then be loaded into QGIS
