Details

EOEXPORT exports the exterior orientation data from a CATALYST Professional OrthoEngine project file to a text file. The text file is created the first time and then overwritten with the latest data. The data is exported without any header and in the ImageID X Y Z Omega Phi Kappa format. The file can later be imported using EOIMPORT.

Note: If the specified OrthoEngine project includes any inactive images, they are excluded from processing.

Example

Export the exterior orientation data in 'airphoto_model.prj' into a text file called 'EOExport.txt'.

from pci.eoexport import eoexport

oeproji = 'airphoto_model.prj'   # input OrthoEngine project file
tfile   = 'EOExport.txt'         # input text file

eoexport (oeproji, tfile)
