Geo-Referenced Image

This new product is offered free of charge as a show-case product of ObjectDCL technology and DuctiSoft`s expertise. What are geo-referenced images?They are images stored in a graphics format that contains geographic coordinate information, which "maps" the individual images (e.g. aerial photographs, SATellite Images) to the surface of the real world. This enables the image to be used as an Overlay or theme object in a Geographic Information System. Some images include a geographic coordinates system and others require a header containing that information. Such headers are called World files. Image files can be made into geo-referenced image formats by the addition of a header (World file), which requires exact knowledge of the image dimensions and its proper location on the Earth`s surface. A World file is a simple text file with the following contents: X-pixel size (DELTA X) Y-pixel size (delta Y) Rotation term for row (normally zero) Rotation term for column (normally zero) X-coordinate of center of upper left pixel Y-coordinate of center of upper left pixel Features: Geo-Referenced Image Insertion offers the following features:Listing of image files and related world files based on filters Image type filter World file type filter Folder selector Preview Batch insertion Online help
