This program creates a first guess control network with tie points between overlapping images. The control network is based on the available pointing information for each image (most likely SPICE).

Parameter Groups

Files

Name Description
FROMLIST List of Input cubes to create a control network for
SEEDDEF PVL file containing the description of the autoseed plugin
OVERLAPLIST Input cube overlap list
CNETControl Network which already seeds some of the overlap
TO Output control network
ERRORS Errors generated while seeding the overlaps

Control

Name Description
NETWORKID Name of this control network
POINTID The pattern to be used to create point ids.
DESCRIPTION The description of the network.

Files: FROMLIST

Description

Use this parameter to select the filename which contains a list of cube filename to be used to create the control network.

Type filename
File Mode input
Filter *.lis

Files: SEEDDEF

Description

Use this parameter to select the filename which contains the definition of the type of autoseeding to be preformed. This file must contain a valid Autoseed plugin definition in PVL format.

Type filename
File Mode input
Filter *.api *.def

Files: OVERLAPLIST

Description

This file should contain overlaps of cubes in the control network. This file can be generated by running "findimageoverlaps."

Type filename
File Mode input

Files: CNET

Description

Use this parameter to provide a Control Network that already seeds a portion of the provided overlap. The Control Points it contains will prevent re-seeding during execution, resulting in a new Control Network that only seeds overlaps that do not contain any Control Points. You may then use cnetmerge to combine this Control Network (CNET) with the resultant Control Network (TO) to create a single Control Network for the entire overlap.

Type filename
File Mode input
Internal Default No previous control network
Filter *.net

Files: TO

Description

This file will contain the autoseeded control network

Type filename
File Mode output

Files: ERRORS

Description

This file will contain the errors that occurred while seeding the overlaps.

Type filename
File Mode output
Internal Default No Error Output

Control: NETWORKID

Description

The ID or name of this particular control network. This string should be unique.

Type string

Control: POINTID

Description

A string with one and only one set of question marks ("?"). This string will be used to create unique IDs for each control point created by this program. The question marks will be replaced with a number beginning with zero. For example the pattern "User????" would create point IDs "User0001" through "User9999". Note: Make sure there are enough "?"s for all the control points that may be created during this run. If all question marks are exausted the program will throw an error.

Type string

Control: DESCRIPTION

Description

A string describing purpose of this control network.
