Hello! I have many scans of old slides from areal photography from 30s/40s, 50s/60s, and 60s/70s. Being interested in rail lines, I (and I was going to trick^Wask my dad and brother to help) trace out the rail lines found in each areal photograph, with the goal being to align our traces with current routes in order to georeference the old scans. While some of the right-of-way has changed since those times, those cases should be small enough that they can be handled by hand afterwards.
I realize that not all of these scans are in the exact same orientation, scale, and skew and will need to use something like pHash (or anything suggested!) to attempt to find overlap. Part of what I'm trying to figure out right now is how to do the overlap with the GIS files since phash would only work if I tile my maps of current lines. Tiles that don't contain rail lines can be handled at a later date, perhaps with a similar system attempting to align local roads or via self-similarity with other tiles since they often overlap a little. Any thoughts, suggestions, ideas, and advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
