Description

Description of the Datasource (optional).

Bounding Box

Describes the bounding box of the data.
Clicking the button "Edit Bounding Box" opens a new map window where a bounding box can be defined interactively. Clicking the button "Draw new extent on map" activates the bounding box mode, allowing the user to define a bounding box by clicking twice on the map (e.g., top-right and bottom-left corners of the bounding box). The coordinates of the bounding box are automatically adopted in EPSG 4326.
Clicking the button "CLOSE" closes the map window.

Camera Offset Height

Specifies the height difference between the camera mounted on the vehicle and the terrain model. To prevent the capture points from appearing above the terrain model in VC Map, this parameter can be used to project the points onto the terrain model. A typical example value is 2.3; for larger survey vehicles the value may be higher.

Base Level

Defines the zoom level from which the image capture points are loaded. The base level value must lie within the defined minimum and maximum levels.

Min. Level

Defines up to which zoom level the capture points remain visible when zooming out. For example, if the points should be visible down to zoom level 13, the base level must be at least 15. The difference between the minimum level and the base level may not exceed 2, so that the points can still be displayed correctly at lower zoom levels (e.g. level 13). Choosing appropriate levels is also important for performance reasons. If too many points are displayed at low zoom levels, this may negatively affect the application’s performance.

Max. Level

Defines up to which zoom level the capture points remain visible when zooming in.
