====== Import Oblique data in Orbit =====

This page documents how to use the obliques administration procedure "Import Project".

<note tip>The administration procedure "Import Project" allows the Orbit administrator \\ to import and process **a new set of raw oblique data** according a well defined import template. \\ \\
If you received an **Orbit Obliques Project (*.oop)**, use the procedure "[[110:obliques:desktop:manage:projects#add project]]" \\ for direct use and to append the project to the list of Orbit available obliques projects.</note>

The import procedure consists out of 2 consecutive wizards :
  - Create a new Orbit Obliques Project
  - Import data according the selected template \\ The steps in the import wizard depend on the selected import template.

===== Create Project =====

**Name** \\ 
Enter a name for the project. \\ Only letters, numbers, dashes - and underscores _ are accepted.  \\
Special characters (like é # + & / * ...) are not allowed and will be replaced automatically into an underscore _. 
\\ \\
**Setup** (previously "Type") \\
Choose an import template. This defines your obliques camera system or the type of oblique data that will be imported. \\
Orbit has the possibility to add and customize import templates exactly according to your set of data : [[110:obliques:desktop:manage:import:templates|]]

**Directory** \\
Browse and select the directory where the new project and data will be stored. \\
A new project sub-directory will be created to group all files and directories belonging to the project. \\
If an already processed Orbit Obliques Project directory or sub-directory is selected, Orbit will recognized the project and will just open that project. \\
In an Orbit Client Server setup special attention is required regarding data management and storage : FIXME [[110:mobile_mapping:desktop:mobile_mapping:manage:index#Network Access|]]
\\ \\
**Create Project** \\
Click "Create Project" button to confirm. \\
The 2nd wizard to import the raw data will start automatically depending the selected template and type of obliques data your are importing.
\\ \\
<note tip>The available steps in the second wizard, documented below, depend on the selected [[110:obliques:desktop:manage:import:templates|import templates]].</note>
===== Import Digital Terrain Model =====

===== Import Imagery =====

**Import Positions** \\
Use the "Choose File" button to browser and select the file containing the positions of the currently imported camera. The import will start automatically after selecting the file. If the import is successful, proceed to "Move Images". \\
If the positions are already imported a new import will replace the previously imported positions. 
\\ \\  
**Move Images**\\
Move the image files to the indicated directory. \\
This will be a sub-directory "original" of the current camera directory within the newly created run.
\\ \\
**Datastructure / CRS**\\
This photo position file needs to be exactly as described by the used import template : data structure, column sequence, type of coordinates, coordinate reference system : [[110:obliques:desktop:manage:import:templates|]]. \\
If required contact your data supplier or Orbit administrator to adjust.
