[Qgis-user] Batch Aerial Imagery GeoReferencing

Hi Richard:

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.

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.
