Opening images

In the Open Image window, you can import the following types of image data:

Satellite images with ephemeris data from sensors such as KOMPSAT-2, KOMPSAT-3, TerraSAR-X/TanDEM-X, Radarsat-2, RapidEye, GOSAT, Thaichote, and HJ that were implemented in GDB
Satellite images without ephemeris data
Scanned images from aerial photographs
Digital images
Video images

To import other types of supported satellite data using the Toutin or Radar model, see Reading satellite images from CD or digital-distribution format.

If the input images are digital air photos and contain Exif tags (.jpg, .tif), OrthoEngine imports these tags as metadata. Therefore, the exterior orientation (EO) is computed automatically. The following Exif tags are required for automatic computation of the EO :

Make
NominalLocation_Longitude
NominalLocation_Latitude
NominalLocation_Height
Acquisition_DateTime
