Prepare MM Data Riegl

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

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

• File format : one ascii *.csv file
• File structure Rows : each trajectory timestamp is one record
• File structure Columns : comma separated (char44), headers, with exact order as the example below
• Value “Easting, Northing, Elevation”: any supported coordinate system can be used, but all mobile mapping resources should have the same crs
