Feature Description
A Digital Orthophoto Map (DOM), simply referred to as an orthophoto, is an image dataset generated through vertical projection of aerial/spaceborne imagery. During orthorectification, the system eliminates geometric distortions caused by terrain relief and camera tilt, ensuring uniform geometric accuracy. Orthophotos can be seamlessly overlaid with maps and vector data, providing reliable support for precise spatial analysis and measurements. The Generate Orthophotos process outputs these geometrically corrected image datasets.
In workflow production, only panchromatic orthophotos are output by default.
SuperMap ImageX Pro 11i(2023) version and later support this feature.

Parameter Description
Parameter | Description | Type |
Dataset |
Displays original images for generating panchromatic orthophotos (read-only). |
DatasetMosaic |
Export Directory | Uses the Processing path parameter from Set Image Path (read-only). | File |
Resolution Type |
Specifies output image resolution method. Default: Original Resolution.
|
OrthoRatioType |
Coordinate System Settings | Uses Output Coordinate System parameter from Set Image Path (read-only). | PrjCoordSys |
Output Format | Uses Output Format parameter from Set Image Path (read-only). | FileType |
Compression Method | Uses Compression Method parameter from Set Image Path (read-only). | CompressMethod |
Downscale to 8-bit Unsigned |
Determines whether to convert pixel format to 8-bit unsigned integer. Default: Unchecked (retains original pixel format for lossless precision). When checked, applies specified stretch method to convert pixel format to 8-bit. Reduces storage and improves efficiency, but may cause overexposure/information loss affecting subsequent analysis. |
Boolean |
Stretch Method | Available when Downscale to 8-bit Unsigned is checked. Default: Percent Clip. Other options: Minimum Maximum, Gaussian, Gamalashin, Histogram Equalization, and Logarithmic Stretch. See Image Stretching Methods. | DesktopImageStretchingType |
Minimum Percentage |
Available when Stretch Method is Percent Clip. Default: 1. |
Double |
Maximum Percentage | Available when Stretch Method is Percent Clip. Default: 99. | Double |
Gaussian Standard Deviation Coefficient | Available when Stretch Method is Gaussian. Default: 3. | Integer |
Gamma Stretch Parameter | Available when Stretch Method is Gamalashin. Default: 0.5. | Double |
Create Image Pyramid | Default: Checked. Builds pyramids using specified resampling method to enhance zoom performance. | Boolean |
Resampling Method | Available when Create Image Pyramid is checked. Default: Average. See Resampling Methods. | PyramidResampleType |
Asynchronously Create Statistics | Enables on-the-fly raster stretching during viewing based on statistics. Unchecked: Statistics generation occurs during tool execution (time-consuming). Default: Checked (background statistics generation). | Boolean |
Output
- Outputs orthorectified panchromatic imagery to local folders.
