Oblique Datasource
Oblique images can be integrated directly into the Publisher as a datasource if they meet the requirements. To add them, the following settings must be configured:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
Name |
Name of the Datasource. |
Description |
Description of the Datasource (optional). |
Bounding Box |
Describes the bounding box of the data. |
URI |
URI of the datasource. |
EPSG Code |
Specifies the coordinate reference system of the image datasets as an EPSG code. |
Proj4 String |
The coordinate reference system (international CRS) in PROJ.4 definition. For example, such a definition for WGS84 / UTM Zone 32N is: "+proj=utm +zone=32 +ellps=GRS80 +towgs84=0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 +units=m +no_defs". The appropriate definition of the respective coordinate system can be found, among other sources, using the website https://epsg.io/. Clicking the button "Retrieve Proj4 String" sends a request to https://epsg.io/ and inserts the Proj4 string directly into the corresponding field. |
Min Zoom |
Specifies the minimum zoom level of the oblique imagery data. This is useful to make the image appear larger and prevent excessive zooming out. |
Max Zoom |
Specifies the maximum zoom level of the oblique imagery data. This helps prevent certain images from being displayed in depth and detail, thereby complying with data protection requirements. It is important to note that this option only affects the requested layers; the depth images remain in the dataset. |
Hide Levels |
This option allows reducing the displayed resolution of the oblique images. The transmitted number of pyramid levels will not be displayed. This option is also useful for complying with data protection requirements, for example if these images are intended for publication. It is important to note that this option only affects the requested layers; the depth images remain in the dataset. |
Terrain Datasource |
For correct height referencing, it is important to reference an already calculated terrain model dataset here and save this information. If multiple terrain models exist in a project, the desired terrain model can be selected here. |
Data Preview
The data preview allows a visual check of the configured data source before publication. It displays the data in the map window using the selected projection and within the defined extent. Users can interactively pan and zoom the map to review the display.
Changes to the data source or the extent are applied to the preview after clicking “Reload Map.”
