Prepare MM data Generic Import

This page describes how to prepare mobile mapping resources for a generic import.
Using the according Orbit Import Templates the described resources can be imported into Orbit.

It is strongly recommend to read first, Concepts about Mobile Mapping data in Orbit.

• File format : One ascii *.csv or *.txt file.
• File structure Rows : One record for each trajectory timestamp.
• File structure Columns : Tab separated (char9), headers, with exact order as the example below.
• Value of Coordinates : any supported coordinate system can be used, Long/Lat order for geographical coordinates, decimal notation, without thousands separator.
• Timestamp : Any supported time reference can be used, decimal notation without thousands separator.

Timestamp	X/Long	Y/Lat	Z	Pan	Tilt	Roll	X_Rms	Y_Rms	Z_Rms
