What it is
A background image data item consists of an image and its geo-reference, given in the *.img file:
IMAGE_FILE : C:\temp\389_.jpg --> Path to the image file X : 0 --> Coordinate X of the Downer Left Corner Y : 0 --> Coordinate Y of the Downer Left Corner WIDTH : 16008 --> Width in distance units HEIGHT : 10011 --> Height in distance units MIP_MAPPED : 1 MAINTAIN_RATIO : 1 ALPHA_VALUE : 1
Import ESRI geo-referenced image
- Add New Item
- Background Image
- In this new layer, go to Properties (F4, or right-click, or Menu Data Items/Properties)
- Choose image file
- Import ArcView GeoRef
ESRI geo-referenced images are comprised of two files: the image (e.g. image.jpg) and the "world file" with the coordinates (e.g. image.jpgw):
3 --> pixels/unit distance X 0.000000000000 0.000000000000 -3 --> pixels/unit distance Y -111989.9 --> Coordinate X of Upper Left Corner -70266.15 --> Coordinate Y of Upper Left Corner
To convert the world file to Mohid GIS img file,
- WIDTH (HEIGHT) = number of width (height) pixels time pixels/unit distance X (Y). The pixel information of the image can be seen in GIMP, for example.
- The Y coordinate must be decreased by height pixels times pixels/unit distance Y to go from Upper Left Corner (ESRI) to Lower Left Corner (Mohid GIS)
