tiept Documentation

tiept - Correct camera pointing using image correlation
TIEPT will calculate and record in the label of the FROM file up to 9
tie point values for 2 overlapping images.  For each tie point the
following information will be stored in the label of the first image:
(1) a tie point number, (2) lat,lon position calculated from the
second image, and (3) the sample and line coordinates for the same point
on the first image.  The camera angles will also be updated on the first
image.

NOTE: The images being registered with TIEPT must also be geomed with
the same lat,lon range or the subpixel registration will be lost.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

Parm	Description
FROM	Input cube file name. If the file extension is omitted, then ".cub" will be assumed.
FROM2	Second input cube file name. If blank, use a band from the first input cube. This image will be used as "truth" to correct camera pointing on image 1.
BAND	Specifies the core band to be used to pick the tie points for the first and second images.
TOL	Enter the tolerance factor for calculating the sample and line locations of the tie points.
MINPT	The user may select the minimum number of valid points to be used to update the camera angles. If less than the minimum number of points are found, the camera angles will not be updated and the program will exit with a warning.
USERNOTE	Specifies a comment that will be entered into the output log file and history entry in the output file.
