Stitching of satellite images

Not a direct map request, rather looking for some assistance. From USGS EarthExplorer, I downloaded some early satellite images (the low-resolution preview version, high resolution is not available for free). These image are not georeferenced and show only very small areas, so for georeferenciation, the images need to be stitched first. Have not done that before, so the question, is there free software for that purpose?--Antemister (talk) 19:56, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

Antemister, what product are you using from the EarthExplorer? I didn't even know there were things you could purchase from the site-- are you sure it isn't a free download? A georeferenced raster could very easily be merged in QGIS or similar. – Isochrone (talk) 21:00, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

It is about the "declassified data", it contain images from the early US reconnaissance satellites in the 1968s. The images are scanned, but only in low resolution and not properly georeferenced. What I want to do is drawing the shorelines of Aral Sea in 1968, for that I have to download a few dozens of these narrow stripes and then stitch them before georefencing.--Antemister (talk) 21:28, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

Can we add Albania and Kosovo on this map since the verore is also used there?

This map is really useful in illustrating why the U.S. state of Virginia was split in two during the American Civil War, but it's difficult to read, and a colorful SVG would be better! We wouldn't need all the numbers or the names on the counties, just the map with colors shaded in a similar way. Thanks! -- Patrick Neil, _oѺ^∞/Talk 19:04, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

Location of the Karnat dynasty as per the Schwartzberg Atlas of South Asia

Karnat dynasty

Request

Please create a map showing the rough location of the Karnat dynasty as per the Historical Atlas of South Asia by Joseph Schwartzberg. For copyright reasons, I can’t use a screenshot from the map itself so if you could make an equivalent showing the location of the Karnatas, that would be appreciated.

Link to source (on page 32): https://dsal.uchicago.edu/reference/schwartzberg/pager.html?object=069

If you zoom in, the Karnats are based on the India/Nepal border.

Presidential primaries and caucuses Map Rules

Open primaries in the United States

Request

Create a map on Presidential primaries and caucuses Rules Map?? For example which states have Open primary/caucus, which states have Closed primary/caucus and which have Semi-closed primary/caucus. Each state can be colored in a different color. Dark red for Closed primary/caucus, red for Semi-closed primary/caucus, and light red for Open primary/caucus.

Here are the sources for each state rules in 2020.

I would like a Map for the Republican primary/caucuses rules, if you could make an extra one for the Democratic rules that would be good.Muaza Husni (talk) 08:56, 7 January 2024 (UTC)

@Muaza Husni it's a little more complex than just these three categories because of various state statutes governing how these things work. See this document from National Conference of State Legislatures[1]. It would only be possible to make it for a presidential election year as far as I can tell because some states allow that individual parties to change at their discretion. Would you be satisfied with a map for just 2024? It will take me some time to verify the table listed in the above source but I will make this for you if you're fine with just a map for 2024.

@Philipnelson99 Yes you can make a map for 2024. Muaza Husni (talk) 05:58, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

@Muaza Husni after looking at it I'm not sure how easy it is to distinguish between open/semi-open. Do you have a preference...? Philipnelson99 (talk) 22:54, 13 January 2024 (UTC)

@Philipnelson99 Maybe the states could be grouped, with just two options 1. (Open/Semi-open primary) and (closed-semi closed primary). Would that help.Muaza Husni (talk) 03:12, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

I've started work on this but I don't think I'm going to have time to finish it since it involves collecting the data by hand. [

Here is what I have so far. Philipnelson99 (talk) 20:22, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

@Philipnelson99 Hi so what do you think We should do with you saying I don't think I'm going to have time to finish it since it involves collecting the data by hand I was thinking instead of collecting the date by hand would it just be easer to do the 2020 rules from the ballotpedia or what do you think We should do??.

And I was looking into the Map https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:US_Republican_Primary_status_2024_(incomplete).svg

I can't found the details of the color system? is it dark red for closed primary, lite red for Semiclosed and orange is open primary??. Thank you for your work so far.Muaza Husni (talk) 03:10, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

I don't know whats next, how can we do this map.@Philipnelson99: Muaza Husni (talk) 14:36, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
