OriConvert

List of commands

Description

The tool OriConvert is a versatile command used to:

• Transform embedded GPS data from text format to MicMac's Xml orientation format.
• Transform the GPS coordinate system, potentially into an euclidean coordinate system.
• Generate image pattern for selecting a sample of the image block.
• Compute relative speed of each camera in order to determine and correct GPS systematic error (delay).
• Importing external orientation from others software: to come.

Syntax

The global syntax for OriConvert is :

mm3d OriConvert Format_Specification Orientation_File Targeted_Orientation

Allowed commands

• OriTxtAgiSoft : Compute tie points for images in low resolution and then for high resolution.
• OriBluh : Compute tie points for all images in a given resolution.
• OriTxtInFile : Compute tie points for linear image canvas.

Workflow

You can launch the OriConvert whenever you want, but of course before orientation tools.

GPS and attitude extracted from telemetry logs are generally structured as followed: image latitude longitude altitude yaw pitch roll R0040438.JPG 50.5860992029 4.7957755452 375.046 319.9 8.2 -2.1 R0040439.JPG 50.5864719060 4.7953921650 376.604 319.4 10.1 3.6 ... In this example (from the UAS Grand-Leez data set, �le GPS WPK Grand-Leez.csv), column titles are speci�ed on the �rst line. Nevertheless, MicMac has its own convention regarding column title. We have to add columns specs as explained in previous section (13.3.1) but with the symbols K, W, P standing for kappa, omega and phi.

1. F=N Y X Z K W P
3. image latitude longitude altitude yaw pitch roll
