License Note

SuperMap ImageX Pro 2025 updates the license ID, which is not compatible with licenses from the 11i version.

Function Changes

  • The Image Uniform Color function has removed the histogram equalization method.
  • The Build the Tessellation Line function has removed the red, green, and blue band index parameters.
  • The Output Results function has removed the color balancing parameter:, result maximum value, result minimum value, and single scene output. After adjusting the DOM Production Process, color balancing and stretching during output results are no longer needed. Single scene output only needs to proceed to Image Uniform Color.
