The 'Geo Image' toolbox allows downloading satellite images and other sorts of maps on a window defined by mouse clicking. These images can be saved in “*.jpg” format and then i.e. being used by other post-processors as background of model results. The standard post-processing tools (e.g. Quickplot or Muppet) support images in these formats.
An image can be generate using the following steps:
- The image window is defined by clicking on “Draw Outline” in the Working Space and then selecting the window by mouse clicking
- Alternatively, the window can be defined by typing the coordinates besides the values “Xmin”, “Xmax”, “Ymin”, “Ymax“
- Zoom level” defines the resolution of the image with increasing level from 4 to 23. Default the 'auto' option is used.
- Different types of images are available under 'Type' namely
- Aerial (satellite) image
- Road image
- Hybrid: combination between a en b
Figure: With the Geo Image toolbox one can make an image of the area of interest in order the use as a layer for computational result. In this example we made a geo image of Barnegat Bay, NJ
