Reading satellite data from a generic image file

You can create an orbital model for image formats that do not have embedded orbital ephemeris data by manually entering information about the satellite image and orbit data.

To read satellite data from a generic image file

In the Read Generic Image File window, type the path and file name of the generic image file in the Input file box or, to select a file, click Browse.
The input file can be any supported format.
In the Output file box, type the path and file by which to save the project or, to select a folder and file name, click Browse.
The output file will be saved as a PCIDSK file (*.pix).
Under Satellite Information, enter information about the sensor.
Under Orbit & Sensor Information, enter the orbit information and the values specific to the sensor (obtained from the sensor's technical manual).
Under Image Information, enter the image's information, including the image resolution, the latitude, the longitude, and the corresponding ellipsoid of the scene center.
