This paper presents a GCP marking technique using scanned maps. Twelve maps with a scale of 1:250, 000 were scanned and stored as raster images. The distortion factors of scanned maps were modelled by polynomials. The coefficients of the polynomials were determined by a least squre fit. This technique does not require a bulky and expensive digitizing table so that it is suitable for a low-cost pre-processing system. The GCP marking using this technique showed a sufficient accuracy for KITSAT1, 2 narrow camera images.
