This page gives an overview on the Orbit oblique mapping import templates and how to prepare your data for import.
Download and add templates to your Orbit installation and start importing.
An overview of all supported oblique resources, see Supported Resources for Oblique Imagery.
An Orbit import template is a predefined set configurations, containing all technical details of the oblique mapping system. A template is exactly configured according a given setup, used sensors and available resources. This technique simplifies and standardizes the workflow to import a well known set of data.

Orbit supports any coordinate system (crs) for photo positions.
The generic import templates are prepared for WGS84 coordinates (geographical, decimal notation, EPSG 4326).
Depending your oblique camera system or configuration, the outcome may be different from WGS84 (e.g. UTM).
The used crs is defined via the import template and can be customized if required (contact support at orbitgis dot com).
