Subject: [Qgis-user] Idea: Crowd-sourcing a batch-georeferencer plugin withQR code ?   
Hi folks,

I am facing a project, where I will produce hundreds of field maps with
atlas from lots of small locations, which get printed for surveyors to
fill in observations in the field.
Getting them returned, I need to scan them, georeference them and finally
digitize the features found.
Alone thinking of the process of georeferencing all those scans (which
might only have tiny offsets and shifts because of lousy scanners) make me
wish to have chosen another profession ...

So here is the idea:
An atlas plugin, that will automatically distribute minimum 6 cross-hairs
(or other automatically identifiable features) around your atlas canvas.
A QR-Code is generated, which holds the coordinates, EPSG and name of the
atlasfeature, and which is put in some restricted area of the composer map.
Maps are printed, processed and scanned afterwards.
Batch-import all scans.
Another function reads the QR-Code of the scan, identifies to locator
features, gives them the proper coordinates and automatically creates
georeferenced tiff/png/jpg with the name of the atlas feature.

Sounds like a dream, but I think there should be enough dreamers around to
make this one true.

Any ideas if this will work, and how to start this endeavour?

Cheers,
Bernd
