Import Raster Data

Import Raster Data#

This module imports raster data using the GDAL library, including ENVI, ER Mapper, GeoTIFF, Geosoft GXF and Surfer. It is possible to connect multiple imports to another module, thereby creating a ‘layer stacked’ dataset. If multiple datasets are imported, care should be taken to ensure they are all in the same projection before layer stacking. Please note that satellite image imports take place in the Remote Sensing menu.
