USGS MIPS Maplab Documentation

This program is used to add map projection labels to an image already in a map projection. Note, it does not geometrically warp the image to a desired map projection; it instead assumes the image is already projected but without any labels. The user is required to know the map projection, eccentricity/radius, standard parallels, central longitude, etc. that were used to originally project the image. Also, the latitiude/longitude of two points within the image must be known.

Files

This program requires as input one unsigned 8-bit , or one signed 16-bit , or one 32-bit floating point image and will add projection labels to the image. It will also update the history file.

Projection Parameters

The first three sets of parameters are based solely on map projection parameters such as the type of projection, radius and eccentricity of the earth, parallels, central longitudes, etc. Click here for more information on these parameters.

Parameters

LAT1, LON1, LINE1, SAMP1, LAT2, LON2, LINE2 and SAMP2: These parameters are used to specify the latitiude/longitude of two points in the image.

Uses

Can be used to add map projection labels to an image after having had imported the image using any of the Mips import programs. Adding map projection labels to an image will allow VISTA to report latitude/longitude positions within the image.
