Data properties

Define the imported data

Define the spatial reference system of imported positions and optional rotation parameters.

Page Data properties

Spatial Reference System

Specify the coordinate system of the imported data

For data that does not have georeferenced positions, choose Local coordinate system (with known or arbitrary unit).

Input File Rotation

Define optional rotation properties.

Check this option and choose the rotation properties if the input file contains photo rotations.

Rotation properties are:
  • Angles: angles types: Omega, Phi, Kappa, Yaw, Pitch, Roll or Heading, Pitch, Roll (deprecated).
  • Rotations given in a matrix form are not supported here.

  • Camera orientation: specification of the xy-axis of the camera sensor for pose rotation.

    Possible values are: X right Y down (default), X right Y up (more frequent in photogrammetry), X left Y down, X left Y up, X down Y right, X down Y left, X up Y right, X up Y left.

  • Angle units: Degrees or Radians.

Options

Additional data properties options.

  • Set pose metadata only: Keep actual 3D pose information unchanged. This option can be used to ensure that the imported positions and rotations will only affect the photos pose metadata property and will conserve the current pose information if any. The default behavior is to update both the photos pose property and pose metadata information with the imported positions and rotations.
