Midas

This page describes the original Midas oblique 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.

Today the Midas Camera 1 should not be imported, skip the import step and continue from Camera 2.

• Files : *.jpg files, each oblique image is one jpg 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.

• 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.
