What is the purpose of spatial adjustment and how it is different from Georeferencing?

The major difference between the two methods is the original datasets and the usage of the method; Georeferencing is used to re-create a missing or unknown spatial reference for Raster or CAD data while Spatial Adjustment is used to correct the alignment of editable vector data.

What is the purpose of spatial adjustment?

Spatial adjustment supports a variety of adjustment methods and will adjust all editable data sources. It’s often used when you’ve imported data from another source, such as a CAD drawing.

How to georeferencing shapefile using ArcGIS for desktop?

I have a shapefile with some polygons that I would like to superimpose to a raster image, but unfortunately they don’t match perfectly due to the reference system the shp has been created with. So, I now want to “georeference” the shp so that all the polygons would match the below raster image.

How to georeference an image to align with other data?

Click Georeferencing > Fit To Display. This displays the raster dataset in the same area as the reference layer. Click the Control Points tool to add control points. To add a link, click on a known location on the raster dataset and on a known location on the referenced data. Note: It may be useful to use a Magnification window to add the links.

What to look for when georeferencing an image?

When georeferencing, you should look for well-defined objects within your images, such as road intersections or land features. This way you can be certain that you are referencing the same location in both the raster and aligned layers.

Can a georeferencing layer be a raster layer?

You can georeference a raster dataset, a raster layer that contains raster functions, an image service, or a mosaic layer. Some of the Georeferencing options may be helpful to make your georeferencing task easier. The Georeferencing toolbar layer list will display raster layers and CAD layers as valid data types.
