Outputs latitude/longitude at line/sample or reverse

Overview Parameters

Description

This program requires the user supply a cube in a map projection. The user must also enter one of the following coordinates: 
      line/sample
      latitude/longitude
      x/y
The program will then compute the other two coordinates. For example, entering a line/sample will cause the program to compute a latitude/longitude and x/y. The output can be sent to a text file using the TO parameter and can be read in a script via the "getkey" program. Example output: 
      Group = Results
        Filename                 = /home/mboyd/mapped.cub
        Sample                   = 400.0
        Line                     = 400.0
        PixelValue               = Null
        X                        = 36094.582198722
        Y                        = -2602604.7032335

        # Input map coordinate system
        PlanetocentricLatitude   = -85.828401770565
        PositiveEast180Longitude = 26.807891885122

        # Location in other coordinate systems
        PlanetographicLatitude   = -85.828401770565
        PositiveEast360Longitude = 26.807891885122
        PositiveWest360Longitude = 333.19210811488
        PositiveWest180Longitude = -26.807891885122
      End_Group

History

Jeff Anderson2003-02-05 Original version
Stuart Sides2003-11-07 Modified results pvl to not include the results group
Brendan George2005-11-21 Added application test
Elizabeth Miller2006-06-29 Changed name to mappt and made ui look like skypt and campt
Sean Crosby2007-04-12 Changed flatfile output so it duplicates PVL data. User now required to entered a flatfile name.
Steven Lambright2008-05-13 Removed references to CubeInfo
Steven Koechle2008-08-14 Added pixel value to the output group
Mackenzie Boyd2010-01-12 Modified output to include all coordinate systems for latitude and longitude and clearly declare the input files coordinate system. Improved documentation.
Mackenzie Boyd2010-02-16 Added many parameters accesible when inputing a lat lon, all under coordinate system. These parameters are to select the input coordinate system being used. Updated documentation to match.
Tracie Sucharski2012-12-06 Changed to use TProjection instead of Projection. References #775
Kimberly Oyama2013-11-22 Changed the order in which the keywords are output to the csv, not the pvl, so it no longer depends on the coordinate system of the input cube. Fixes #1614.
Janet Barrett2014-08-04 Added new parameter, ALLOWOUTSIDE, to control the reporting of latitude/longitude and line/sample information that falls outside the boundaries of the image. Also added a message to the output results if the line,sample falls outside the image boundaries, regardless of the setting of the ALLOWOUTSIDE parameter. This will help the user detect results that fall outside the image even if they are allowing for it. Fixes #1929.

Position: COORDLIST

Description

An input comma-delimited flatfile of image, ground or projection coordinates. This allows the program to process multiple coordinates in a single run of mappt, and output the results to the specified output file.

Expected order for image coordinates: sample, line
Expected order for ground coordinates: latitude, longitude Expected order for projection coordinates: X, Y

The "Error" keyword will only appear when using a coordinate list. The value of "Error" will then be NULL unless an error occurs during the processing of a coordinate in the coordinate list. Then, the value of this keyword will be the error message. This allows for mappt to continue processing the remaining coordinates in the coordinate list.

For the input of Latitude and Longitude, mappt expects Planetocentric Latitude (within -90 to 90 boundary) and Positive East Longitude (with 0-360 boundary) to find the location in the input camera image.

Position: ALLOWOUTSIDE

Description

The Allowoutside parameter influences how mappt will report resulting latitude/longitude and sample/line coordinates that fall outside the input cube pixel boundaries.

The default is set to True, which allows mappt to return the values that are outside the cube pixel boundaries, For example, a given latitude/longitude might return a sample location of -1.0 (a single whole pixel coordinate off the left side of the image). This is a feature of the ISIS camera models.

When set to False, if a returned coordinate is off the image, mappt will fail. This failure can be indicated and ignored within a batch script when only coordinates that fall within the image cube pixel boundaries are desired.

Type boolean
Default true
