Manually georefererence image based on Northing, Easting, Elevation, Phi, Omega, Kappa data

Jay_Gregory — Thu, 02 Feb 2023 17:44:28 GMT

I have a directory of about 800 tiffs without any geo reference information, but was also provided an Excel doc with the intended datum and coordinate system, as well what I assume to be the arcthe required information for each image.

The columns in the Excel doc are Easting, Northing, Orthometric Elevation, Phi, Omega, and Kappa.

I am curious which Pro tool I need to use to add spatial information to the images (so I can add them to a map, create orthomosaics, publish, etc. etc.).

If not easily done in Pro, I can also use Python / Arcpy to do the same, I'm just not sure what I need to do.

Example:

Flight Line	Image #	Easting	Northing	Orthometirc Elevation	Phi	Omega	Kappa
1	1	1767185.381	390437.0933	4112.756424	-1.068121	-3.124987	-63.358142
1	2	1768146.527	390866.8791	4098.426989	6.587689	-4.682265	-61.321469

are you looking for information on creating an ortho mapping workspace? There are several types in the help files and they popped up with a search using phi, omega and kappa

Here is an example of one type, check the left help pane for more examples

Thank you - this has helped me get in the right direction - it's a little confusing (being brand new to imagery workflows) because I don't believe this imagery is "scanned" in the way I'm thinking about it, but I guess the lack of spatial information in the tiffs means I should treat it as such.
