Parameter descriptions

InputText: List of OrthoEngine project files to merge

Lists the OrthoEngine project files to merge into a single project file. File names may be separated by commas, or defined using a wildcard, such as e:\data\ortho*.prj

Output: Output OrthoEngine project file name

Specifies the name of the output merged OrthoEngine project file. If the file already exists, it is overwritten.

Add Prefix to IDs

Specifies the type of automatic prefix to be added to the point IDs.

To prevent duplicating point IDs, the GCPs and TPs of the project files to be merged are prefixed with a sequential number. For example, if three OrthoEngine project files are to be merged, the GCPs and TPs are prefixed with "1_ " for the first file, "2_ " for the second, and "3_ " for the third. If the GCP IDs are already unique and stereo GCPs are to be included, only the IDs of the TPs are prefixed.

Report

Specifies where to direct the generated report.

Available options are:

• LOG: generates a report on the terminal (default)
• <modulename.RPT>: appends a report to the module's RPT file
• DISK: generates a report on file "IMPRPT.LST"

Details

MERGPROJ merges existing OrthoEngine project files that have identical math model types, including projection and datum. For airphoto projects, the camera calibration data must be identical. Incompatible files are excluded from the merge.
