Install QGIS. 2. Go to Plugins -> Manage and Install Plugins and install **QuickMapServices**. 3. Add the **Bing Satellite** layer using QuickMapServices. ## Usage 1. Select the working area in QGIS (the current canvas extent is used). 2. Open the QGIS Python Console. 3. Run [scripts/QGIS_stitch_script.py](scripts/QGIS_stitch_script.py). - This script renders TIFF tiles and creates matching .tfw coordinate files. ## Configuration Adjustable parameters in the script: - `OUTPUT_FOLDER`: Output directory - `TILE_SIZE`: Tile size in pixels. Default: 1024 - `MAP_UNITS_PER_PIXEL`: Output resolution (map units per pixel) Update these values as needed and re-run the scripts. ## Outputs - TIFF + TFW (world file with coordinates) - Example: `tile_r0_c0.tif`, `tile_r0_c0.tfw` ## Example Output  Example tiles exported by the stitch script at 0.30 meter resolution. ## Flowchart  This flowchart shows the current single-stage workflow: open QGIS, load Bing Satellite through QuickMapServices, select the target canvas extent, run `scripts/QGIS_stitch_script.py`, and export geo-referenced tile outputs as TIFF + TFW files. ## Tips - Make sure the extent and project CRS are correct. - Increase `TILE_SIZE` if you want fewer output files. - Large areas may take a long time depending on network speed.
