CamOri in a frame table

Question

We have created a frame table, in geographic the coordinate system, and everything works fine. Coverage looks great! From a 3D measurement perspective this likely needs to be extended to a CamOri string where the focal length and the pixel size is exposed. Irrespective of what coordinate system I use in the string definition I get "Error in adding images from frame table. SpatialReference: Spatial reference string is invalid.". I have tried both geographic  and UTM.

Can someone point me to a working frame table with a CamOri embedded in it?

Hey Randall,

Sorry for the delay in replying. Summer vacation! The issue that I was having is that the documentation said that comma delimited was OK, but I subsequently learned that it had to be piped. My struggle now is, I believe to be the accuracy parameters, which seems to be comma delimited.

To answer your question I am looking in the log folder under OrientatedImagery. In the XML files you can see what goes wrong. However, the answers are a little terse and it takes a while to iterate to a solution!

I think I would be a lot further if the tool had examples of each image import type. In my case I went for a Frame Table and in the ESRI documentation there are two table definitions! Trying the first one did not work at all.

p.s. We have defined the X, Y, Z and SRS and the CamOri to stop the code from complaining.

Hi,

When exactly are you getting this error? Can you share the OIC exposure points  table or the input table with me ?

The CamOri string is per row in the table and is defined using a specific syntax.

You can find details for it here. Look on page 17.
