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

Use the corresponding Orbit Import Template to import the described original data.
It is recommend to read first Orbit Mapping Resource.

Download the static import template here, Mapping Resource Import Templates.

Consult the section of 'Resources' below to know how the import files should be prepared when using this template.

The Orbit Import Templates are generated exported by RiProcess.
When using a version of RiProcess released before June 2018, you need to update the Riegl Reference Orbit Template files included inside your RiProcess setup.

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