Making a plate for synSwath
Making a plate to load up in synSwath is really easy. Your only limited by the file size, aim at a plate of about 400x400 pixels.
Do the normal procedure as with generating a dtm (make_blank, tor4, weigh_grid) but select a boxheader the covers your area of intrest in the dtm. Assuming you have a processed dataset:
make_blank dtm/dtm_name -boundsof merged/sub_dir/*merged
tor4 dtm/dtm_name
weigh_grid -beamwidth x.x -custom_weight the_weightfile dtm/dtm_name merged/sub_dir/*merged
Now hunt in your dtm for an interesting area and draw the boxheader around it:
jview dtm/dtm_name -pickrot
With the boxheader do the routine from above again:
make_blank dtm/the_plate -area dtm/Box.header0
tor4 dtm/the_plate
weigh_grid -beamwidth x.x -custom_weight the_weightfile dtm/the_plate merged/sub_dir/*merged
When you load up a plate in synSwath it searchs for a .BT-file and a .sun file:
addsun dtm/the_plate
addSUN -range x y dtm/the_plate look up the greylevel range in jview and give it more contrast
mv dtm/the_plate.sun_315 dtm/the_plate.sun
4rto8bit dtm/the_plate
mv dtm/the_plate.8bit dtm/the_plate.BT
That's it! Run synSwath:
synSwath -plate dtm/the_plate -level 1.0
