you can see a screenshot of the original image (right) and the georeferenced one (left, rotated almost 90 degrees). The red markers with the number 3 inside them show one of the control points: to the right the scan pixel (5023/3421), to the left the targeted georeferenced coordinate in EPSG:28992 (121527/487174). As you see, the georeferenced point is not exactly on the border of parcel 7, as I expected. Above the map you see the four coordinates I used as control points; I added four extra points half way the original ones, so the complete warp was done with 8 control points.

Adding or removing points doesn't make any difference, and the other control points are shifted too, although slightly differently. When I use "-order 1" with the same control points I get exactly the same picture; however, with really weird control points the images for -tps and -order 1 get distorted in different ways.

It's only 10 meters or so, but it is very visible and too much for my purposes. How can I get a georeferenced image with the control points exactly on their indicated location, no matter what happens in between?

It should work... Perhaps you can share how to reproduce what you see

Hi,

I'm rubber-sheeting old, deformed maps using the thin plate spline
option of gdalwarp (-tps). My impression was that the control points
would be transformed to exactly their georeferenced locations, but in
the georeferenced image the control poimts don't quite align with the
gcp-coordinates I specified. I'm only using five points per map, so
could this be the problem? If so, how many points do I need to get the
control points on their exact location? Or are there other ways to
achieve this?
