Update Interior Orientation

Summary

Refines the interior orientation for each image in the mosaic dataset by constructing an affine transformation from a fiducial table.

Usage

• The input fiducial table is the output from the Compute Fiducials tool.

• This tool can be used to update the film coordinate system of the images in a mosaic dataset, for example, when the images are rotated incorrectly after adding them to a mosaic dataset.

• For more details on how this tool is used in an ortho mapping workflow, refer to Scanned Images Workflow.

Syntax

UpdateInteriorOrientation(in_mosaic_dataset, {where_clause}, fiducial_table, film_coordinate_system, {update_footprints})

Parameter	Explanation	Data Type
in_mosaic_dataset	The mosaic dataset that is created from scanned aerial photos using the scanned raster type or frame camera raster type.	Mosaic Layer
where_clause (Optional)	A query definition string that defines a subset of rasters for computing fiducials.	SQL Expression
fiducial_table	The fiducial table created using the Compute Fiducials tool.	Table View
film_coordinate_system	Defines the film coordinate system of the scanned aerial photograph. It is used in computing fiducial information and affine transformation construction. NO_CHANGE —Maintain the coordinate system of the mosaic dataset. Do not change the film coordinate system of the scanned aerial photograph. Maintain the coordinate system of the mosaic dataset. X_RIGHT_Y_UP —The origin of the scanned photo's coordinate system is the center, and positive X points right and positive Y points up. X_UP_Y_LEFT —The origin of the scanned photo's coordinate system is the center, and positive X points up and positive Y points left. X_LEFT_Y_DOWN —The origin of the scanned photo's coordinate system is the center, and positive X points left and positive Y points down. X_DOWN_Y_RIGHT —The origin of the scanned photo's coordinate system is the center, and positive X points down and positive Y points right.	String
update_footprints (Optional)	Generates or updates the footprints of the digital photos in the mosaic dataset. UPDATE —The footprints will be generated or updated. NO_UPDATE —The footprints will not be generated or updated. This is the default	Boolean

Derived Output

Name	Explanation	Data Type
out_mosaic_dataset	The updated mosaic dataset.	Mosaic Layer

Code sample

UpdateInteriorOrientation example 1 (Python window)
