Understanding geocoded DEM editing

When you use the Automatic DEM Extraction window to complete the entire process in one operation, OrthoEngine builds a model based on all the selected epipolar pairs and uses that model when the DEMs are geocoded. The geocoded DEMs are automatically stitched together and saved in a file. Because OrthoEngine uses a model to process all the epipolar pairs, the resulting integrated geocoded DEM is slightly more accurate than if you completed the process manually.

You can edit the geocoded DEM , however, the file will not include the epipolar pairs. If you selected Create Score Channel, the correlation score is saved as the first channel in the file and the geocoded DEM as the second.
