How can I create TerraVision datasets?
SRI produce a number of tools to generate TerraVision format datasets. These tools are Open Source (under the Apache license) and are provide in binary form for a number of platforms. These tools are included as part of the tsmApi distribution, see http://www.tsmapi.com/. Please refer to TerraVision User Guide for details on creating TerraVision datasets. • What file formats does TerraVision support? TerraVision itself reads a simple binary format for imagery (.oi) and elevation (.dem) models. It also supports the GeoVRML file format for arbitrary 3D models that are overlaid on the terrain. However, the tsmApi tools allow you to convert a number of standard mapping products into TerraVision’s multiresolution tiled format. This includes: USGS 7.5-minute DEMs, USGS DOQs, DTED Level 0, TIFF, GeoTIFF, JFIF/JPEG, GIF, PPM, PGM, and raw binary grids.
