Ingesting data and collecting GCPs

In this sample CATALYST Enterprise Satellite workflow, you first run the Data Ingest and GCP Collection module after preparing your data. The module imports raw satellite sensor data into PCIDSK format, and you can also use it to collect ground control points (GCP) from reference data sources and store them in a GCP segment in the imported PCIDSK file.

Note: Alternatively, depending on the configuration of your CATALYST Enterprise Satellite system, you can run the standalone Data Ingest module and the GCP Collection module separately.

For a list of sensors that are supported in CATALYST Enterprise Satellite, see Supported satellite sensors.
