PROCESS:

1. START
Press the START button to start the project wizard. Press the ORIENT button to perform interior orientation and then use Visual Orient. Visual Orientation ^tm is the point-and-click method of orienting images.

2. ORIENT
Press the ORIENT button to perform interior orientation and then use Visual Orient. Visual Orientation ^tm is the point-and-click method of orienting images.

3. ORTHO
ORTHO Press the ORTHO button, select the image(s) and OrthoMapper ^tm will make a single orthophoto or a mosaic.

OrthoMapper ^tm includes the Visual Orientation ^tm method of entering control points. This method makes it almost impossible to make a mistake. Just identify the same point on the aerial image and an existing orthophoto. OrthoMapper ^tm does all the rest.

If the orthophoto you want to create consists of one aerial image or 80 images, OrthoMapper ^tm has the tools to get the job done.

Change detection is a snap when you create orthophotos from historical imagery that overlay precisely with existing orthophotos.

REQUIREMENTS:

Minimum Memory: 64 MB of RAM.

Recommended Memory: 128 MB of RAM. Additional memory will speed up operations on large images.

Parallel Port: A parallel port to which you attach the hardware key is required. The key is passive and will not affect the use of a printer or other peripheral attached to the port.

CD-ROM Drive: Required for program installation.

Hard Disk Space: Although this software without examples takes up less than 20 MBof disk space, a 2 GB hard drive is considered a minimum for realistic projects or complete installation of the examples. At least 250 MB of free space should be available for the operating system to use as swap space when processing images. A larger hard drive may be required for large projects.
