Creating/Publishing OI Layers
There are two ways to create and publish OI Layers with XPGEO Studio
OI Layer of all images that are initially loaded
At the bottom of the report, there are two options to move forward. To create a OI Layer of all the images that were just added, click Create Oriented Imagery Layer
Next, the user will be prompted to give the OI Layer a title, add a description, and the option to add additional tags. The user can also set a search distance (value should be determined according to the distance between the images: the larger the distance, the larger the value). By default, the image sequencing option is checked and can be unchecked if not needed for the layer.
Once everything is filled out, click Publish
After the OI Layer has been published, the user will have two options
Show item details - this will allow the user to review the new layer under the user's “content” on AGOL or Enterprise
View OI Layer in map - this will allow the user to view the imagery from the newly created layer with XPGEO Studio’s viewer (more information about this will be under the View Layer section of this document)
OI Layer of selected images
At the bottom of the report prompt, there are two options to move forward. To select certain images to be in the new OI Layer, click View on map
On the map, the image exposure points (represented by the “X” symbol) and the viewshed will be present, along with the folder/image list and image names in the contents pane
To add additional images, click Add imagery and repeat the steps listed under Add Images section of this document
Using one of the selection tools on the content pane, select the images that will be used to create the layer and then click Publish
Note - An OI Layer can be created using images from multiple folders or multiple image lists. However, an OI Layer cannot be created using a folder and an image list
Next, the user will be prompted to give the OI Layer a title, add a description, and the option to add additional tags. The user can also set a search distance (value should be determined according to the distance between the images: the larger the distance, the larger the value). By default, the image sequencing option is checked and can be unchecked if not needed for the OI Layer.
Once everything is filled out, click Publish
After the OI Layer has been published, the user will have two options
Show item details - this will allow the user to review the new layer under the user's “content” on AGOL or Enterprise
View OI Layer in map - this will allow the user to view the imagery from the newly created layer with XPGEO Studio’s viewer
Note: - If the images were loaded via the folder option, the images will be referenced to the OI Layer as attachments. If the images were loaded via the image last option, the images will be referenced to the OI Layer by a URL.
