Update Interior Orientation (Data Management)

Summary

Refines the interior orientation for each image in the mosaic dataset by constructing an affine transformation from a fiducial table.

Usage

• The input fiducial table is the output from the Compute Fiducials tool.

• This tool can be used to update the film coordinate system of the images in a mosaic dataset, for example, when the images are rotated incorrectly after adding them to a mosaic dataset.

Syntax

arcpy.management.UpdateInteriorOrientation(in_mosaic_dataset, {where_clause}, fiducial_table, film_coordinate_system, {update_footprints})

Parameter	Explanation	Data Type
in_mosaic_dataset	The mosaic dataset that is created from scanned aerial photos using the scanned raster type or frame camera raster type.	Mosaic Layer
where_clause (Optional)	A query definition string that defines a subset of rasters for computing fiducials.	SQL Expression
fiducial_table	The fiducial table created using the Compute Fiducials tool.	Table View
film_coordinate_system	Defines the film coordinate system of the scanned aerial photograph. It is used in computing fiducial information and affine transformation construction. NO_CHANGE —Maintain the coordinate system of the mosaic dataset. Do not change the film coordinate system of the scanned aerial photograph. Maintain the coordinate system of the mosaic dataset. X_RIGHT_Y_UP —The origin of the scanned photo's coordinate system is the center, and positive X points right and positive Y points up. X_UP_Y_LEFT —The origin of the scanned photo's coordinate system is the center, and positive X points up and positive Y points left. X_LEFT_Y_DOWN —The origin of the scanned photo's coordinate system is the center, and positive X points left and positive Y points down. X_DOWN_Y_RIGHT —The origin of the scanned photo's coordinate system is the center, and positive X points down and positive Y points right.	String
update_footprints (Optional)	Generates or updates the footprints of the digital photos in the mosaic dataset. UPDATE —The footprints will be generated or updated. NO_UPDATE —The footprints will not be generated or updated. This is the default	Boolean

Derived Output

Name	Explanation	Data Type
out_mosaic_dataset	The updated mosaic dataset.	Mosaic Layer

Code sample

UpdateInteriorOrientation example 1 (Python window)

This is a Python sample for the UpdateInteriorOrientation tool.

          "X_DOWN_Y_RIGHT", "UPDATE")

UpdateInteriorOrientation example 2 (stand-alone script)

This is a stand-alone script sample for the UpdateInteriorOrientation tool.

import arcpy

in_mosaic_dataset = "c:\\Test\\ortho.gdb\\orthoMD"
whereClause = ""
fiducialTable = "c:\\test\\fidducial.csv"
film_coordsys = "X_DOWN_Y_RIGHT"
update_footprints = "UPDATE"
