QBASMBLE

Description

QBASMBLE lets you assemble QuickBird tiles into a single image with the associated RPC model information that is used with other functions or added to an OrthoEngine project.

Parameter descriptions

Input: Input image layers

Specifies the input image layers to be processed.

Output: Output file name

Specifies the output PCIDSK file that will contain the complete image. If the specified file already exists, it is overwritten.

OutputOrbit: Satellite orbital ephemeris layer

Specifies the output satellite orbital ephemeris layer.

OutputBIN: Output RPC layer

Specifies the output RPC layer.

RPC RPB File

Specifies the name of the input RPB text file that provides the coefficients that define the rational functions math model for the scene. If this parameter is not specified, QBASMBLE automatically find the RPB text file in the data set.

RPC IMD File

Specifies the name of the input IMD text file. If this parameter is not specified, QBASMBLE automatically find the IMD text file in the data set.

Details

QBASMBLE lets you assemble QuickBird tiles into a single image that maintains the RPC information that is used with other functions or added to an OrthoEngine project.

Because of CD size limitations, QuickBird images can be delivered as image tiles with RPC data. The RPC data is used with the rational functions math model and covers the entire scene, not the individual tiles. You must, therefore, reassemble the tiles into one scene before importing them into a project.

QBASMBLE only supports QuickBird data in NITF format or in TIFF format with accompanying RPB files.
