Description

This program computes and outputs the latitude/longitude range of a set of images in camera space, as well as the pixel resolution and the oblique pixel resolution.. It creates a cam2map ready map file with the extents of the latitude/longitude ranges of the image set.

The user can select the type of map projection preferred by two different means. The PROJECTION parameter allows direct specification of an ISIS supported projection. Or, the user can select a map file from the ISIS map template system that contains the projection name. If none of these options are used, then Equirectangular is the default.

mosrange provides better control over the values of the latitude/longitude ranges by providing a PRECISION parameter. This parameter specifies the maximum nuber of digits precision for many of the Mapping group parameters used to project images.

Its primary use is to provide a quick, simple and batchable means of creating map files for projections.

An example of the output generated is: 

Group = Mapping
  ProjectionName          = Equirectangular
  TargetName              = Mercury
  EquatorialRadius        = 2440000.0  <meters>   
  PolarRadius             = 2440000.0 <meters>
  LatitudeType            = Planetocentric
  LongitudeDirection      = PositiveEast
  LongitudeDomain         = 360
  PixelResolution         = 505.3668 <meters/pixel> 
  ObliquePixelResolution = 791.251 <meters/pixel>
  Scale                   = 84.2676 <pixels/degree>
  MinPixelResolution      = 483.45317995544 <meters>
  MaxPixelResolution      = 527.28051834369 <meters>
  CenterLongitude         = 165.9728
  CenterLatitude          = -13.6612
  MinimumLatitude         = -21.5164
  MaximumLatitude         = -5.806
  MinimumLongitude        = 133.7863
  MaximumLongitude        = 198.1593

  # Actual Parameters without precision applied
  PreciseCenterLongitude  = 165.97281458717
  PreciseCenterLatitude   = -13.661167089917
  PreciseMinimumLatitude  = -21.516314016725
  PreciseMaximumLatitude  = -5.806020163109
  PreciseMinimumLongitude = 133.78639979231
  PreciseMaximumLongitude = 198.15922938202

Parameter Groups

Files

Name Description
FROMLIST Input cube file list to compute range for
MAP An existing MAP file that will be used to determine the name of the projection
TO Output map projection file generated from the list
LOG Writes the specifics for each file to this file

Mapping

Name Description
PROJECTION Name of projection you want to create
LATTYPE Latitude type
LONDIR Longitude Direction
LONDOM Longitude Domain
PRECISION Digits of precision to use for latitude/longitude specifications

Files: FROMLIST

Description

Use this parameter to select the filename of a cube with camera labels.

Type filename
File Mode input
Filter *.lis

Files: MAP

Description

If this file is given, only the ProjectionName keyword is used to determine the type of projection desired. If you know the type already as well as the proper spelling required by ISIS, then you may use PROJECTION as an alternative to this file.

Type filename
File Mode input
Default Path $ISISROOT/appdata/templates/maps
Internal Default None
Filter *.map *.cub

Files: TO

Description

This file will contain a map projection file suitable for projecting the given set of images. This file will contain all the parameters suitable for using directly in cam2map.

Type filename
File Mode output
Internal Default None
Filter *.map

Files: LOG

Description

Each input file will have its geometry computed and the results can be written to this file.

Type filename
File Mode output
Internal Default None

Mapping: PROJECTION

Description

Use this named projection as the type of projection you wish to create. It should be the complete valid name as required by the cam2map application. This name can also be provided in the MAP parameter if you do not know the proper spelling/format required for ISIS projections.

Type string
Default None
Internal Default None

Mapping: LATTYPE

Description

The latitude type for the projection. It can either be Planetocentric or Planetographic. PLANETOCENTRIC is the default.

Type string
Default PLANETOCENTRIC
Option List:
Option Brief Description
PLANETOCENTRIC Planetocentric Sets the latitude type in the mapping template to Planetocentric.
PLANETOGRAPHIC Planetographic Sets the latitude type in the mapping template to Planetographic.

Mapping: LONDIR

Description

The longitude direction for the projection. It can have a direction of Positive East or Positive West. POSITIVEEAST is the default.

Type string
Default POSITIVEEAST
Option List:
Option Brief Description
POSITIVEEAST PositiveEast Longitude Direction Sets the longitude direction in the mapping template to PositiveEast.
POSITIVEWEST PositiveWest Longitude Direction Sets the longitude direction in the mapping template to PositiveWest.

Mapping: LONDOM

Description

The longitude domain for the projection. It can either have a domain of 180 or 360. 360 is the default.

Type string
Default 360
Option List:
Option Brief Description
360 0 to 360 Degree Longitude Domain Sets the longitude domain in the mapping template to 360 degrees.
180 -180 to 180 Degree Longitude Domain Sets the longitude domain in the mapping template to 180 degrees.

Mapping: PRECISION

Description

This parameter provides some control over how the Latitude and Longitude min/max values are written to the map file. Note that this is useful for creating easy values to use in subsequent applications that may require these values. If these values are not specified, about 12 digits of precision will be used.

Note that you can use a negative number which has the effect of rounding the whole integral number. A value of 0 will produce an integral whole number, effectively removing the decimal portion of the numbers. A positive number will truncate up (maximums using the ceil function) or down (minimums using the floor function) range values such as MinimumLatitude and MaximumLatitude. The pixel resolution is rounded using same technique (with the rint fuction).
