Import Drone Imagery (.tiff)

1. To import GeoTIFF files (.tiff) files, click the More icon on the Actions bar, and select Imports.

2. Select Drone Imagery and click IMPORT FILES.

3. Click Browse next to Local Storage, navigate to the GeoTIFF file you need, and click Open.

4. Specify the date and time the drone imagery applies to (when the flight was made). 

Tip:  As a best practice, have the drone operator or Stratus tech name the file using this data and time.

Note:  GeoTIFF files can take hours to import, so choose the appropriate file carefully. During the import process, you can see the stages in the Notifications pane.

Note:  To be valid in WorksOS, GeoTIFF files must be georeferenced in the WGS84 coordinate system (CS), the coordinate reference system (CRS) embedded into the GeoTIFF data. The WGS84 is an ellipsoidal 2D CS based on a spheroid that utilizes angular units, i.e., degrees. Stratus also supports multiple other CRSs. 

5. Click Import. Once imported, the image will persist as your project’s new background image.

Note:  As your project progresses, you can import additional GeoTIFFs that show the different phases of work being completed. The most recent image is the default top image. When you change the date of your view, the corresponding drone image will appear.
