I have georeferenced a few hundred survey plans using the
Georeferencing toolbar in ArcGIS but did not Rectify the images (i.e
create a new rectified image) as I didn't want to create new files and
take up more space. Now when I want to open them up in ERDAS or
MapInfo they don't accept the georeferencing process and require a new
file to be created using Rectify-->Save As
I found a tool to do this "Create Ortho Corrected Raster Dataset" but
the python script for it gives errors when I try.
[code]
import arcpy import glob import os path = os.getcwd() filename = path
+"\Stage2_19" #for pathname, directories, filenames in os.walk(path):
# for filename in filenames: # if
filename.lower().endswith(".TIF"): arcpy.GetMessages()
arcpy.CreateOrthoCorrectedRasterDataset_management(filename+".TIF",
\ filename+".jpg",
\
"CONSTANT_ELEVATION", "0") arcpy.GetMessages() print "Created: " +
filename + ".jpg"
[/code]
[output]
