description=Automatic georeferencing of drone photos by AI feature matching against a basemap / Georreferenciación automática de fotos de dron con IA.
about=Georeferences drone photos (JPG/TIF) without manual ground control points. It reads GPS, altitude and heading from EXIF/XMP, renders the basemap around the photo (Esri World Imagery, OpenStreetMap or any raster/WMS/XYZ layer of the project, e.g. your own orthophoto), finds common patterns with SIFT/ORB or deep-learning matchers (DISK+LightGlue, LoFTR) and estimates the transformation with MAGSAC++/RANSAC plus a refinement pass. Outputs a GeoTIFF, a .points file for the QGIS Georeferencer and a footprint layer with quality indicators. Requires OpenCV (the plugin offers to install opencv-python-headless with pip, after asking). The AI matchers additionally need torch and kornia (optional, ~250 MB). User interface in Spanish. | Georreferencia fotos de dron sin puntos de control manuales: lee GPS/altura/rumbo, descarga el mapa base, reconoce patrones con IA y genera GeoTIFF, .points y huellas con indicadores de calidad.

changelog=
    0.2.1
    - Fixes for the plugins.qgis.org security and quality scan (no silent try/except/pass)
    - Qt6/QGIS 4: scoped DistanceUnit enum; removed the deprecated supportsQt6 flag
    0.2.0
    - Similarity model (4 DOF) besides homography: robust with few matches
    - Automatic zoom fallback when the basemap has no imagery at full resolution
    - Feature cache and 8-orientation search for AI matchers without heading
    - Manual GSD option; fixed QGIS freeze caused by warnings from worker threads
    - Only basemap presets whose terms allow third-party use (Esri, OSM)
    0.1.0
    - First version
