genapdat Documentation

genapdat - Generates a priori data for a randlsq solution.
This perl script generates a complete RAND point, pole, and picture
file from a target definition file ($ISISDATA/targets), a matchpoint
file, and a list of images. The point, pole, and picture file contains
data based on the camera angles in the images, including lev1torand
results. A randlsq solution will read these in and optimize them.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

Parm	Description
MATFROM	Pixel measurement data. Coordinates will be used to estimate lat/lon points.
FROMLIST	List of image filenames. May have paths relative to the current directory, or absolute paths.
RANDTO	Output file. After program is run, this will contain a priori data to be used as input to randlsq.
TARGDEF	The target definition file (e. g. $ISISDATA/targets/mars.def.4). Files for many target bodies can be found in $ISISDATA/targets.
USEPLAN	If this option is set to "NO" (the default), the fourth line of the image data (lev1torand output) will be dropped. The fourth line contains planet angles and is usually only used when working with images of the moon (due to the moon's unusual rotation caused by the shape of the Earth).
LONGDIR	The positive longitude direction. EAST and WEST are the options, and LONGDIR can also be null. If null, lev1matcherr will use the positive longitude direction in the image labels.
DTMFILE	An optional ISIS level 2 cube file, where each DN value represents the local radius for the point at that location. This file is used to compute the radius of the planet/body at the corresponding match point location.
