Instructions for Use
The Set Image Path tool is used to add original images and reference images to the workflow, as well as set information such as the coordinate system for data processing and the result path.
In predefined image processing flows, you only need to set parameters in Set Image Path to execute the flow and complete DOM data production.
Supported since SuperMap iDesktopX 11i(2023) version.
Parameter Description
Parameter Name | Parameter Interpretation | Parameter Type |
Processing Path | Set a local path to store all intermediate and result data generated during data processing. | File |
Zone Output |
Specify whether to output images from different locations according to their respective zoned coordinate systems. By default, this is unchecked, meaning a unified coordinate system is used for output.
This will automatically apply to all processes and result data in the workflow production. ![]() This is only useful for executing the complete workflow. If only a specific tool in the workflow is executed, the output result data may not use the coordinate system set here. |
Boolean |
Projection Type |
Available after checking the zoned output parameters. Provides two projection types: Universal Transverse Mercator (WGS 1984) and Gauss-Kruger (CGCS 2000). Default is Gauss-Kruger (CGCS 2000). |
ZonePrjcoordSysType |
Zoning Method |
Available after checking the zoned output parameters. Specifies the zoned projection method as six-degree zones or three-degree zones. Default is six-degree zones. |
ImageZoneType |
Add Band Number |
Available after checking the zoned output parameters. Specifies whether to include the band number in the projected coordinate system. If checked, the output projected coordinate system will include the band number; if unchecked, it will not. |
Boolean |
Output Coordinate System |
Available after unchecking the zoned output parameters. Sets the coordinate system for the imagery. Intermediate and result data will be output using this coordinate system. |
PrjCoordSys |
Output Format |
Sets the storage type for the result image. Provides four options: Unset, Tiff/GeoTIFF, Erdas Image, and PCIDSK. Default is Tiff/GeoTIFF, meaning the original storage type of the image is used for output. This will automatically apply to all processes and result data in the workflow production. |
FileType |
Compression Method |
Only available when Output Format is Tiff/GeoTIFF. Default is NONE. For more methods, refer to Compression Method. This will automatically apply to all processes and result data in the workflow production. |
CompressMethod |
Plane Accuracy |
Plane accuracy determines whether to perform rough correction on the original image. Default is High, meaning no rough correction is performed on the image. Selecting Medium or Low will perform rough correction on the original image.

ImageAccuracy |
Panchromatic Image | Sets the path information for panchromatic images. Provides four input methods: Add File, Add Folder, Add List, and Add Mosaic Data. When selecting Add Folder, all image files in the folder (including subfolders) will be automatically retrieved. | File |
Multispectral Image |
Sets the path information for multispectral images. Provides four input methods: Add File, Add Folder, Add List, and Add Mosaic Data. When selecting Add Folder, all image files in the folder (including subfolders) will be automatically retrieved. ![]() Panchromatic images and multispectral images correspond one-to-one. If a panchromatic or multispectral image is missing in the folder, the Image Pairing dialog will pop up, displaying the images that failed to pair. Use the add and delete buttons in the toolbar within the dialog to manage the image information that failed to pair. |
File |
Satellite Sensor Type | Sets the satellite sensor type for the original image. Different types of satellite sensors have different spectral response functions and bit depths. Setting the correct sensor ensures the original image is opened correctly and the correct metadata is obtained. Supports processing mainstream remote sensing satellite data such as GF, ZY3-02, SuperView-1, IKONOS, WorldView, Landsat, ZY1-02D, Sentinel-2, etc. | SensorCategory |
Image Filtering Criteria | By default, this is unchecked, meaning all panchromatic and multispectral images are loaded. If this checkbox is checked, it means images are loaded only when the image name in the folder contains the filter string. The filter string settings are as follows:
|
Boolean |
Multispectral Filtering String |
Available after checking Image Filtering Criteria. Sets the string used to filter multispectral images. Only images whose file names contain this string will be loaded. |
String |
Panchromatic Filtering String |
Available after checking Image Filtering Criteria. Sets the string used to filter panchromatic images. Only images whose file names contain this string will be loaded. |
String |
Create Image Pyramid | Checked by default. Builds pyramids for the original image based on the specified resampling method to improve image zoom display rendering and performance. | Boolean |
Resampling Method |
Available after checking Create Image Pyramid. Default is Average. For more methods, refer to Resampling Method. |
ResamplingMethod |
Reference Image |
Reference data serves as a baseline with accurate geographical locations. During imagery processing, control points are generated based on the reference data to perform geometric correction on the images. Provides four input methods: Add File, Add Folder, Add List, and Add Mosaic Data. When selecting Add Folder, all image files in the folder (including subfolders) will be automatically retrieved. ![]() If only performing color balancing and mosaicking on general image data of Level 4 or above, reference data does not need to be added. |
File |
Load According to the Original Image Range | Checked by default, meaning only reference images within the range of the original image are loaded to reduce the amount of data loaded into the workflow and speed up processing. | Boolean |
Create Reference Image Statistics | During image browsing, the layer will be stretched based on statistical information. If the image has no statistical information, it will be displayed using the default stretch method, and 8-bit data will not be stretched. By default, this is unchecked, meaning no statistics are created for the reference image. | Boolean |
Create Image Pyramid | Checked by default. Builds pyramids for the reference image data based on the specified resampling method to improve image zoom display rendering and performance. | Boolean |
Resampling Method |
Available after checking Create Image Pyramid. Default is Average. For more methods, refer to Resampling Method. |
|
Cloud Amount Data | By default, this is unchecked, meaning no cloud amount data is input. If checked and cloud amount data is input, the original image can be filtered based on the cloud amount data. | Boolean |
Source of Data | Available after checking Cloud Amount Data. Cloud amount data can be obtained via Existing Data or Cloud Detection. Default is Existing Data. | CloudMaskDataSourceType |
Data Source | Available after selecting Existing Data in Source of Data. Specifies the data source where the cloud cover dataset is located. | DataSource |
Dataset | Available after selecting Existing Data in Source of Data. Specifies the cloud cover dataset. | DatasetVector |
Mask Pixel Threshold |
Available after selecting Cloud Detection in Source of Data. The minimum number of pixels retained by the mask. Only areas larger than this threshold will be judged as cloud regions; if smaller, they will be judged as non-cloud regions and mask data will not be retained. Default value is 4096. |
Integer |
Time | After checking the checkbox, specify a time range. Only images within this range will be loaded. | Boolean |
Resolution | After checking the checkbox, specify a resolution range. Only images within this range will be loaded. Unit is m. | Boolean |
Cloud Cover |
Available after checking Cloud Amount Data. After checking this checkbox, specify a cloud cover percentage. Only images with cloud cover less than or equal to this value will be loaded. |
Boolean |
Remove Duplicate Images | After checking the checkbox, duplicate image data will be removed based on the image file name. | Boolean |
Elevation Data Type |
Select the source of data for elevation data. Provides the following three methods:
|
ElevationDataType |
Use Geoid | When elevation data is referenced to the sea level (orthometric height), use geoid to convert orthometric height to ellipsoidal height. When elevation data is ellipsoidal height, this does not need to be selected. | Boolean |
Geoid File | Available after checking Use Geoid. Specifies the geoid file in the local file. | File |
Output Result
Adds original images and reference images to the workflow and completes global parameters such as the coordinate system for data processing and the result path.
