|
| Platform |
Any MS Windows operating system (95/98/2000/ME/NT/XP/Vista)
Product is stand-alone. No other GIS or CAD software is required.
|
| Requirements (Memory, Processor) |
Same as the requirements of the MS Windows operating system
|
| Image File Formats supported |
Image input: TIFF/GeoTIFF (uncompressed, packbits, and group4, LZW compression), MrSID, ECW, BIL/SPOT, BMP, JPEG, JPEG2000, PNG, IMG, CADRG, CIB
Image output/export: PixelStore v.2 (SQL-based), 1, 4, 8, & 24 bit TIFF/GeoTIFF (with LZW compression), 8 & 24 bit JPEG, 1, 4, 8 & 24 bit PNG, and BMP
|
| Reference File Formats |
TIFF/GeoTIFF,BIL/SPOT, JPEG, JPEG2000, PNG, BMP, IMG, CADRG, CIB, PixelStore, SHP, E00, MID/MIF, TAB, DXF, DGN, GML, KML, GPX, DLG, SDTS, VPF
|
| Registration file formats |
Reads the registration information contained in the GeoTIFF, World File, or TAB Registration file of an already registered image
Saves the registration information for exported images to a GeoTIFF, World File, and TAB registration file
Output images generated with square pixel shapes, for best compatibility with other products
|
| Rectification methods |
Polynomial approximation method based on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd order polynomial calculations, i.e., using the 3, 6 or 10 control points.The 1st order calculation performs image scaling and rotation. The 2nd and 3rd order calculations also perform complex image warping.
|
| Mosaics |
Yes, with no limit on the number of files or total file size.
|
| Projections, datums |
25 projections, 225 datums, all common unit types and other coordinate system specifications.
All U.S. State Planes can be defined via the manual entry of the parameters. For a list of U.S. State Plane parameters: http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/PUBS_LIB/ManualNOSNGS5.pdf (refer to pages 63 - 72).
Projections supported: Geodetic, Geocentric, Albers, Mercator, Robinson, Bonne, Cassini, Cylindrical Equal Area, Transverse CEA, Equidistant Cylindrical, Miller Cylindrical, Mollweide Pseudocylindrical, Eckert IV, Eckert VI, Wagner VII, Grinten, Lambert, Orthographic, Polar Stereographic, Polyconic, Sinusoid, Transverse Mercator, Universal Transverse Mercator, Hotine Oblique Mercator Azimuth Center, and Hotine Oblique Mercator Azimuth Two Point Center
