Standardize film sleeves North oriented scans Early photo periods now mandatory Prepare for higher costs because of fuel Most contractors indicated they can fly more,

however, the SE US required numerous photo season extensions

In 2006, we will attempt to balance “good” and “bad” weather states among the contractors

Metadata matching scan to camera report “Best Available” DOQ and DEM to be used for

orthorectification

Streamlined version of LPS Simple interface for less experienced

users Many parameters will be set automatically

Projection Name and location of input and output files

Many options will be hidden NRI is doing single frame orthorectification

This approach should minimize confusion and reduce mistakes

NRI Register StepsNRI Register StepsNRI Register StepsNRI Register Steps

1. Automatically create the LPS block file• Fixed format directories and files

2. Menu to select pre-built .cam files3. Interface to measure fiducial marks

• Auto driving and accuracy feedback

4. Interface to measure control points• Auto driving, auto populated (DOQ, DEM,

GCP)

5. Output files named correctly• Creates ortho image, metadata, block file,

and triangulation report
