ISIS 3 Application Documentation
Edit control networks
Description
This application applies a series of edits to a control network
based on the control point IDs and control measure
cube filenames specified in various edit lists. All edit operations are
optional, and performed in a sequential order that cannot be changed. If
the user wises to perform any edit operations in a different order, it is
suggested that they run the application multiple times in a pipeline
fashion.
The primary, and most typical, function of this application is to
selectively delete unwanted points and measures from a network by flagging
them as "ignored". Other operations are generally in place to facilitate
this purpose, but can also be used on their own.
The available operations are as follows:
- Unlock
- Ignore
- Delete
- Lock
Before any points or measures are ignored and deleted, the listed points
and measures can be unlocked if edit locked in the input. Listed points
and measures can then be ignored, and subsequently any ignored points and
measures can be deleted from the network. The deletion operation deletes
all ignored points and measures, not just those specified in the lists.
Finally, any listed points or measures can be locked to prevent further
modification.
Additional options include the ability to preserve points with less than a
single valid measure, ability to retain the reference (even if not validated or exists in an ignore
list), and the ability to print detailed logging results to a text file.

deleted from the input network. It also makes note of points and
measures that could not be ignored or deleted, and provides rationales
for each.

Edit Lists:
POINTLIST
Description
The given edit operations will be applied to all the points in the
control network mapped by the IDs in this list. Each entry in this
list should be a control point ID on its own line. Operations such as
unlocking, ignoring, and locking will only be applied at the point
level (e.g. locking lat/lon but not measurements). Deleting a point,
however, will remove it and all its measures from the network.
Type

Internal Default
| None |

Edit Lists:
CUBELIST
Description
The given edit operations will be applied to all the measurements
taken on a cube in this list. This information is derived from the
measurement's cube serial number, mapping to a filename in this list.
Type
| filename |
File Mode
| input |
Internal Default

Edit Lists:
MEASURELIST
Description
A file containing a list of paired Point IDs and cube filenames,
uniquely identifying specific measures to be edited. Each pairing
must be on its own line and have the Point ID and filename separated
by a comma (',').
Type

Edit Operations:
UNLOCK
Description
Any listed point or measure will have its edit lock removed if it has
one in the input network. If not, nothing will happen to the point or
measure and processing will continue. Unlocking a point does not
automatically unlock its measurements, except for the reference.
Type
| boolean |
Default
| False |
Edit Operations:
IGNORE
Description
Any listed point or measure will be ignored. Ignoring a point does
not automatically ignore its measurements, except for the reference.
Ignoring can sometimes fail, for example, if the point or measure is
edit locked, and the UNLOCK operation is not enabled.
Type
| boolean |
Default
| True |
Inclusions
|
|
Edit Operations:
DELETE
Description
Any ignored point or measure will be deleted, regardless of whether
or not it is present in an edit list. Deleting a point will delete
all its measurements in the process. If any control point has less
than two remaining measures after all measurement deletions have been
performed, then that point will be deleted as well. This can be
prevented by enabling the PRESERVE option. Furthermore, the
RETAIN_REFERENCE option can be enabled to prevent reference measures
from being deleted under any circumstance.
Type
| boolean |
Default
| TRUE |
Inclusions
|
- PRESERVE
- RETAIN_REFERENCE
|
Edit Operations:
LOCK
Description
Any listed point or measure will have its edit lock set if it does not
already have one in the input network. Otherwise, nothing will happen
to the point or measure and processing will continue. Locking a point
does not automatically lock its measurements, except for the
reference.
Type
| boolean |
Default
| False |
Validity Check:
CHECKVALID
Description
If enabled, the application will check the validity of each control
measure against the tolerances set in the relevant definition file
(DEFFILE). Because validity checking requires camera information not
contained within the control measure itself, a list of all cubes in
the network is necessary (FROMLIST), and could result in a noticeably
more time-intensive run of the program. For the aforementioned
reasons, this option is disabled by default.
Type
| boolean |
Default
| False |
Inclusions
|
|
Validity Check:
FROMLIST
Description
This parameter specifies a list of cube names corresponding to the
serial numbers for every control measure in the input control
network.
Type
| filename |
File Mode
| input |
Filter
|
*.lis
|
Validity Check:
DEFFILE
Description
This parameter specifies a PVL file containing descriptions for the
validity keywords when the user chooses to perform a validity check
on each of the measures in the input control network. Invalid control
measures will be ignored and, unless otherwise specified, removed.
Type
| filename |
File Mode
| input |
Filter
|
*.def
|
Deletion Options:
PRESERVE
Description
This option will prevent the DELETE operation from removing control
points that only have one control measure remaining at the end of the
deletion process.
Type
| boolean |
Default
| FALSE |
Deletion Options:
RETAIN_REFERENCE
Description
When enabled, the DELETE operation will retain reference measures
under all circumstances. Consequently, if a reference measure is
ignored, in an edit list, or invalidated, it will still show up in the
output network.
Type
| boolean |
Default
| False |
Deletion Options:
IGNOREALL
Description
When enabled, any time a point or the reference measure is ignored the remaining measures
in a point will also be ignored. Occassionally the reference measure has the highest error
and we don't want to retain it, but the rest of the measures are also unreliable so it's
helpful to ignore them also.
Type
| boolean |
Default
| False |
