The Tie-Point Collection and Refinement module collects and refines the TPs of all input scenes. However, when the Input Scenes folder contains a data-ingest_RAW_PAN.prj or a gcp-collection_RAW_PAN.prj file, TPs are collected only on panchromatic scenes.

The module creates a CATALYST Professional OrthoEngine project file (oe.prj) for each scene type containing of all the refined and collected TPs and the refined math model. In addition, the Tie-Point Collection and Refinement module creates a series of summary files in text format.

The Tie-Point Collection and Refinement module produces the following output:
  • Final CATALYST Professional OrthoEngine project file of the collected and refined TPs.
  • Report, in text format, for the merged and final OrthoEngine project file.
  • Summary report, in text format, containing details of the processing.
  • Summary report, in text format, of the resulting accuracies of the images after TP collection and refinement.
  • A folder, intermediates, which contains files of intermediate results. You can use these files to rerun the job, if necessary. After completing quality assurance (QA), you can remove this folder.
You can now open the scenes in CATALYST Professional Focus or open the OrthoEngine project file in OrthoEngine to perform QA, or proceed to use the next module in the CATALYST Enterprise workflow. Typically, this is to use one or both of the following:
  • DEM Extraction module
  • Orthorectification module
