Prepare Riegl MM Resources

This page describes Riegl Riprocess mobile mapping resources and Riscan terrestrial mapping resources for Orbit.
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.

The Orbit Import Templates are generated exported by RiProcess.
When using a version of RiProcess released before February 2017, you need to update the Riegl Reference Orbit Template files included inside your RiProcess setup.

Download the Riegl Reference Orbit Template files using the links below and update the folders as indicated by the screenshot at the right.

• riegl_riprocess_wgs84.zip
• riegl_riprocess_projected.zip

Download the static import template here, MM Data Preparation and Import Templates.
