This chapter describes the steps to export the Orthomosaic<\/strong> into a variety of external data formats.<\/p>\n

Export Orthomosaic<\/h2>\n

One of the main applications for orthomosaics is to serve as a spatially accurate underlay in a mult-layer geographic information system (GIS). Photoscan allows export in the following data formats;<\/p>\n

Exporting an orthomosaic to Google Earth KMZ format allows for a quick assessment of its general positional accuracy. To export the\u00a0Orthomosaic<\/strong>, right-click on it in the\u00a0Workspace,\u00a0<\/strong>select\u00a0Export Orthomosaic… <\/strong>and choose the export file format (e.g. Google KMZ<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

The suggested output parameters are shown in the screenshot below, but they may vary depending on the specific software and user requirements. Note that the pixel size in meters is set to 0.01 which results in the angular X and Y values below<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Click\u00a0Export<\/strong>, navigate to where you want to save the orthomosaic, enter a name and click\u00a0Save<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Once the orthomosaic is exported, double-clicking on it should launch Google Earth and the software will automatically navigate to the correct geographical location.<\/p>\n
