KmzExport - Image to KMZ Export ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Export the input image in a KMZ product. Detailed description -------------------- This application exports the input image in a kmz product that can be display in the Google Earth software. The user can set the size of the product size, a logo and a legend to the product. Furthemore, to obtain a product that fits the relief, a DEM can be used. Parameters ---------- This section describes in details the parameters available for this application. Table [#]_ presents a summary of these parameters and the parameters keys to be used in command-line and programming languages. Application key is *KmzExport* . ..

Supported formats are SRTM, DTED or any geotiff. DownloadSRTMTiles application could be a useful tool to list/download tiles related to a product. - **DEM directory**: This parameter allows selecting a directory containing Digital Elevation Model files. Note that this directory should contain only DEM files. Unexpected behaviour might occurs if other images are found in this directory. - **Geoid File**: Use a geoid grid to get the height above the ellipsoid in case there is no DEM available, no coverage for some points or pixels with no_data in the DEM tiles. A version of the geoid can be found on the OTB website (http://hg.orfeo-toolbox.org/OTB-Data/raw-file/404aa6e4b3e0/Input/DEM/egm96.grd). - **Default elevation**: This parameter allows setting the default height above ellipsoid when there is no DEM available, no coverage for some points or pixels with no_data in the DEM tiles, and no geoid file has been set. This is also used by some application as an average elevation value. **Load otb application from xml file**: Load otb application from xml file. **Save otb application to xml file**: Save otb application to xml file. Example ------- To run this example in command-line, use the following: :: otbcli_KmzExport -in qb_RoadExtract2.tif -out otbKmzExport.kmz -logo otb_big.png To run this example from Python, use the following code snippet: :: #!/usr/bin/python # Import the otb applications package import otbApplication # The following line creates an instance of the KmzExport application KmzExport = otbApplication.Registry.CreateApplication("KmzExport") # The following lines set all the application parameters: KmzExport.SetParameterString("in", "qb_RoadExtract2.tif") KmzExport.SetParameterString("out", "otbKmzExport.kmz") KmzExport.SetParameterString("logo", "otb_big.png") # The following line execute the application KmzExport.ExecuteAndWriteOutput() Limitations ~~~~~~~~~~~ None Authors ~~~~~~~ This application has been written by OTB-Team.
