Convert a geoTIFF file to a LAS image.
Converts a Striped or Tiled geoTIFF image to a LAS image.
- COMMENT(--)
- Description of CD(s). A text string is sent to the operator's terminal describing the CD(s) to be mounted. COMMENT should include both the ID number and a short description which allows the operator to ensure the correct media is mounted. If multiple CD's are specified the user must specify them so that the image data is in band sequential order. If the source media is disk, leave this field blank. See User Note 4.
- INFILE(-- )
- The full LAS pathname of the input image on disk or CD. This includes the sceneid of the input geoTIFF file. See User Note 3.
- OUT(--)
- Output image(s). The output LAS image. The number of images specified in OUT must either be one, equal to the number of bands specified in BANDS, or equal the number of entries in NBANDS. The directory and root specified in OUT will be used for the directory and root specification of the intermediate .BIL file. The output direcory and file names must be in lower case. See User Note 1 and User Note 2.
- BANDS(-- )
- Band number(s). The image bands to be processed. The default indicates that all bands present on disk or CD(s) are processed. See User Note 2.
- NBANDS(-- )
- Defines the number of bands to be placed in each output file. If NBANDS is specified, BANDS must be also specified. Also the number of entries must match the number of entries in OUT. See User Note 2.
- WINDOW(--)
- Window specification. If UNITS is LS, the window specifies the start line, start sample, number of lines, and number of samples for the window. If only the start line and sample are entered, the number of lines and number of samples will default to the end of the image. If UNITS is not LS, the window specifies the upper left Y, upper left X, lower right Y, and lower right X coordinates. If the WINDOW is not specified, it defaults to the entire image. If a window is specified, it is applied to all of the bands.
- UNITS(LS)
- Units used for WINDOW parameter.
= LS: Line/Sample = DEG: Degrees = DMS: Degrees Minutes Seconds (+DDDMMMSSS.SS) = PRO: Projection coordinates
- ODTYPE(SAME )
- Output data type. The data type of the output images.
= SAME: Same as input = BYTE: BYTE (8-bit unsigned integer) = I*2: INTEGER*2 (16-bit signed integer) = I*4: INTEGER*4 (32-bit signed integer) = R*4: REAL*4 (32-bit signed real)
All geoTIFFs with the sceneid l71028029_0291991082 will be converted to the LAS image outfile.img. BANDS was not specified,therefore all bands will be copied to outfile.img. A 512 X 512 window will copied starting line at 100, starting sample at 110 using LS as UNITS. The output image will be data type INTEGER*4 data.
CD 123 will be mounted by operations. The geoTIFF files with sceneid l71028029_0291991082 will be read. Bands 1 and 4 will be output to outfile1 and band 5 will be output to outfile2.
The geoTIFF files in directory [sg1.csb] with the sceneid l71028029_0291991082 will be read in and all the bands will processed to the las image output located in [sg1.dsb] . The file output will be windowed according to the WINDOW and UNITS parameters. If the geoTIFF files are different resolutions then the outfile will be given the extension "_r#"
This is an example of a user reading in a CD from their CDROM. The user added the cdrom path along with the sceneid name. Band 1 will be read and processed to the outfile output.img In this case the user is only allowed to read one CD at a time. If another CD is to be read, the user needs to re-run Geotiffin.
The specified input TIF file will be read from disk or CD(s). The TIF file will be copied to a flat transfer file with the root of OUT, and the extension .bil. The transfer file will be converted to LAS by TRANSLAS-IN. Finally, the geographic information (in the form of tags and keys)is read from the input TIF file and the ddr is updated. The CD will dismount and the intermediate .bil file(s) will be deleted.
Error closing CD. Make sure CD is closed and offline.
Only 8, 16, and 32-bit images are handled.
There was an error opening the input image file <XXXXXX>. Check the input file name and the file permissions.
There was an error opening the output image file <XXXXXX>. Check the output file name and the file permissions.
There was an error allocating memory for the data buffers <XXXXX>. If the error persists contact the system administrator.
There was an error reading the geoTIFF image file. Check the file name and file permissions.
The error message that is displayed immediately preceding this message is the specific error that occurred. Processing is terminated.
There was an error converting the window parameters from their units to line/sample. The error message that is displayed immediately preceding this message is the specific error that occurred. Processing is terminated.
An error occurred while checking the window coordinates and verifying they are valid for the input image. The error message that is displayed immediately preceding this message is the specified error that occurred. Processing is terminated.
An error occurred while trying to output a long value for the TAE parameter <XXXXXX>. If the error persists contact the system administrator.
An error occurred while attempting to pass variables back to TAE. If the error persists contact the system administrator.
An error occurred while attempting to pass variable <XXXXXX> back to TAE. If the error persists contact the system administrator.
Check the geoTIFF file for a valid UTM zone. Double check the ProjectionGeoKey for a vaild key.
Check if the ProjectedCSTypeGeoKey in the geoTIFF file is valid.
Double check the BANDS and NBANDS parameters. Either specify BANDS or leave BANDS NULL and specify NBANDS as NULL. All files will be processed if both parameters are NULL.
Double check the NBANDS and BANDS. Since NBANDS pairs the specified BANDS into groups, the sum of all the pairings in NBANDS must equal the total number of BANDS.
Add an OUT file name and re-run
Double check the OUT and NBANDS parameters. There must be an output file specified for each of the values in NBANDS.
GeoTIFF tag ModelPixelScaleTag does not exist. This is a necessary key so double check geoTIFF file for this key.
GeoTIFF tag ModelTiepointTag does not exist. Double check geoTIFF file for this tag.
An error occurred in c_rtcoef while trying to compute the transformation coefficients. The error message that is displayed immediately preceding this message is the specified error.
The DATASYS environment variable was not set. This environment variable is required to convert the window parameter to line/sample.
An error occurred while retrieving the DDR file. Check if the DDR file exists on disk and check the file permissions.
An error occurred while writing the DDR to disk. Check disk space. If the error persists, contact the system administrator.
An error occurred while writing the BDDR to disk. Check disk space. If the error persists, contact the system administrator.
Double check the geoTIFF file for the correct GeographicTypeGeoKey
Double check the geoTIFF file for the correct ProjectionGeoKey
There is a conflict in the number of values specified for either OUT or WINDOW/UNITS.
OUT must specify one image file name to store all of the bands that are to be read, one image file name for each of the bands to be read, or one image file name for each entry in NBANDS.
If the UNITS parameter is LS (line/sample), the WINDOW parameter must have 0, 2, or 4 parameters specified. For other values of UNITS, 0 or 4 WINDOW parameters must be specified.
Double check geoTIFF file for the required GeoLinearUnitsGeoKey.
If a landsat 7 file format was used, make sure the naming convention l7fppprrr_rrrYYYYMMDD is correct and contains 21 characters. See User note 3.
Double check the geoTIFF file name. The file should have the _bXX.tif extension.
Check the geoTIFF file permissions. Contact system administrator if the error persists.
Check the geoTIFF file permissions. Contact system administrator if the error persists.
Check the geoTIFF file permissions. Contact system administrator if the error persists.
Check the geoTIFF file permissions. Contact system administrator if the error persists.
The tiff spec does not give information on how to handle PLANARCONFIG_SEPARATE for multiple bands. Contact the system administrator.
