The aerial images were obtained from the Colombian Geographical Institute Agustín Codazzi (IGAC) where they were scanned in high resolution. Subsequently the images were georeferenced in two consecutive steps using QGIS 2.18, using the thin plate spline as a transformation method for data interpolation, since it led to the highest precision among all the methods tested (first and second order polynomials).
