Uploading GIS Imagery

Pointerra supports the following GIS image file formats that can be draped over the terrain.

• ECW (.ecw)

• GeoTIFF tiles (.tif/.tiff)

• JPG2000 (.jp2)

• JPG with JGW world file

• PNG with PGW world file

ECW/JP2 will generally offer the best performance for very large raster imagery datasets.  Large datasets stored as GeoTIFF should be spatially tiled to enable reasonable performance.
