Prepare MM Data Riegl

This page describes how to prepare Riegl VMX mobile mapping resources for Orbit.
Using the Riegl Orbit import templates prepared VMX resources can be imported into Orbit.

It is strongly recommend to read first Understand Mobile Mapping data in Orbit.

Currently no known Riegl export.

Documentation will be completed soon.

• Image type : rectified images
• Image resolution : camera calibration setting
• Files : *.jpg files, each image is one jpg file
• File name : exactly as “Filename” value of photo position file, see below
• Folder structure : all files in one folder

• Files : one ascii *.csv file
• Rows : each image is one record
• Columns : comma separated (char44), headers, with exact order as the example below
• Value “Filename” : file name as on disk, with file extension
• Value “Origin (Easting,Northing,Elevation)” : Any supported projected coordinate system can be used, but all mobile mapping resources should have the same crs

• Files : one or more *.las files, structure v1.2
• File name : free of choice
• Latitude, Longitude : same as photo position file
