Prepare Oblique Data Cicade

This page describes how to prepare Cicade P65 oblique resources for Orbit.
Using the Cicade P65 Orbit import templates prepared P65 resources can be imported into Orbit.

It is strongly recommend to read first:

• Understand Oblique data in Orbit

• Files : *.ecw files, each oblique image is one ecw image file.
• Naming : exactly as described in photo position file (see below, first column)

• File : one *.csv or *.txt file for each camera
• Structure : Flat ascii text file
  • Rows : each image is one record
  • Columns : comma separated (char44), headers, with exact order as the example below.
• Structure of file name : file name as on disk, with file extension.
• Crs : Any supported projected coordinate system can be used, but all imported oblique resources should have the same crs.

For every camera it is required to review and adjust the default Orbit template camera calibrations, prior to the import.
<Orbit installation directory>/program/ext/obliques/project/template/<template_name>/planar<1,2,3,4>/import/import_locations.ord

• File : one *.tif file with corresponding *.tfw
• Naming : free of choice
• Crs : Any supported projected coordinate system can be used, but all imported oblique resources should have the same crs.
