Hello everyone!

I am trying to orthomosaic 5 pléiades images. I haven pan and ms images and gcps and a generated DEM. I want to get a georeferenced orthorectified pansharpened seamless mosaic. I created an orthomapping workspace, specifying Pleiades-1 as rastertype. The workspace and the ArcGIS pro project are all in the same folder on my D-drive. The images I want to use are also in a subfolder, and each within their own folder (that is how airbus delivers them and I do not want to copy only 1 file out of fear of losing the RPC-data connection.

I can load the xml-files seperatedly into the project perfectly but they are added to the reference layers instead of to the source image collection. I tried creating an orthomosaic without the orthomapping space (and thus not needing a mosaic dataset) but the result was not good and the work-around was horrible.

this is the error message:

(10 data source items because 5 images twice: once pan and once multispectral)

I found several other topics on this and it appears to be a bug so I tried some of the previous answers:

-I cannot disable backgroudn processing because I am using arcgis pro

-I put parrallel processing in environments on 0 but it dit not help

-try 1 raster

-try only linking to the folder, not the raster

-disable display results

-disable build pyramids

-disable calculate statistics

 

none of these worked. I am getting very demotivated that I can't figure out how to solve this. Does anyone have any other idea?

Dear Jayanta,

I was familiar with this webpage.

I have been trying to add the DIM.xml files and have specified pleiades-1 as the rastertype, both when creating the workspace and adding the rasters to the mosaic dataset.

The problem is that still no items are added to the dataset.

I think this has been a problem for many years and a solution would be good. I make many raster mosaics from Maxar and Airbus imagery. Maxar always works well with the appropriate Raster Type set and Pleiades always fails in the way described by the OP.
