Figure 11 Image menu and options for viewing

- Warped imagery. Imagery that is warped or “draped” over terrain. May result in the image

appearing to be stretched. When selected, a gray box appears in the SA Viewer and image loads. The

imagery may have stretching and distortion as it a quick “rectification” with the terrain.

- Unwarped imagery. Imagery is a “Chip” of what is captured with the camera. No terrain or

geography metatags are associated with the imagery. Imagery looks very different than warped as it is a

capture of what the camera is viewing; look angle, altitude, and no cardinal direction reference.

-Download imagery. Imagery is downloaded to your local computer or drive.

- Zoom. Zoom to where image is spatially within SA. Warped imagery will not load

You can select videos and download them for viewing. In most cases the SA Viewer should re-center to

where the video was recorded
