Mosaic Tool features a wizard to make creating your mosaic project quick and easy. The wizard walks you through the following steps to ensure you have everything set up to create your mosaic:
- Source files to use
- Key details, such as size and extents
- Applying color balancing, normalization, or both to the input images
- Selecting how to create cutlines and mask layers
- Previewing the mosaic
- Generating the mosaic
New Project wizard
The wizard is displayed when you do either of the following:
- In Mosaic Tool, create a new project by clicking New Project on the File menu or clicking New Project on the Project toolbar.
- In OrthoEngine, with Mosaic selected in the Processing step list, initiate generation of a mosaic by clicking Mosaicking.
If the OrthoEngine project has mosaic-preparation information defined, the wizard does not display and the images to be mosaicked are imported and displayed in Mosaic Tool. You must then define the output mosaic and you can either retain the mosaic-preparation information as specified in the OrthoEngine project or modify the information in Mosaic Tool.
If the OrthoEngine project consists of only orthorectified imagery, the wizard is displayed, in which you define the mosaicking details.
If you have the wizard open on your desktop or you want to create a new project, see the following topics, as applicable:
