RPF Tools
The SAIC GeoRover® RPF Tools extensions provides the capability to create map indexes from any file-based source of raster product format (RPF) data and view the index within ArcGIS®.
Overview
GeoRover RPF Tools is an extension developed by SAIC to work with the Environmental Systems Research Institute (Esri®) commercial ArcGIS Desktop software. The GeoRover RPF Tools extension loads into the ArcMap™ component of ArcGIS and will function in any level of licensing (ArcView®, ArcEditor™, or ArcInfo®).
The extension provides the capability to create map indexes from any file-based source of raster product format (RPF) data and view the index within ArcMap. Common RPF formats include Enhanced Compressed Raster Graphics (ECRG), Compressed ARC Digitized Raster Graphics (CADRG) and Controlled Image Base® (CIB®).
Features
- Create map index consisting of both ECRG and CADRG formats in the same index
- Rapid map index creation from RPF data in any directory structure
- Create and work with map indexes in ArcMap; no requirement to use ArcCatalog™
- Add new RPF data to existing indexes; most recent data is automatically selected for the index
- Wireframe and product controls conveniently located in ArcMap Table of Contents
- Selection tools for custom selection of map product(s) coverage areas
- Copy map data tools for chipping-out subsets of existing map indexes/data and moving to new location
- Delete map data functionality for removing unwanted data and reclaiming disk space
- Special zoom tool for efficient navigation through map product sets
- Integrates ArcMap Identify tool for viewing crucial RPF metadata
Benefits
- Designed for high-speed RPF data display in ArcMap
- Supports Enhanced Compressed Raster Graphics (ECRG), Compressed ARC Digitized Raster Graphics (CADRG), and Controlled Image Base (CIB) formats.
- Optimized to support any size of file-based RPF datasets, including datasets over 1 terabyte (TB)
- Indexing process can utilize RPF a.toc (table of contents) and toc.xml (and its associated shapefiles) files for optimal indexing speed
- Valuable for management and distribution of large RPF datasets, and data staging
- Index RPF data to new or existing GeoRover map catalogs (.gmc)
- Ideal for disconnected and operational users
- Uses existing data structure; does not reformat RPF data
- Work with large RPF datasets concurrently with both ArcMap and FalconView™
- Specialized zooming tool for RPF data display at native raster resolution at each and every product scale

Rapid Indexing and Viewing of RPF Datasets
Rapid Indexing and Viewing of RPF DatasetsThe RPF Tools extension allows for rapid indexing and viewing of RPF datasets—all from a single, easy-to-use ArcMap toolbar. Coverage wireframes and product types display as an ArcMap layer, and are available to the selection, copying, and deleting tools. The indexing process can take advantage of existing native RPF “a.toc” files for extremely rapid index creation.
Specialized Zooming Tool
Specialized Zooming ToolThe RPF Tools extension’s specialized zooming tool displays each and every map product at the optimal native resolution. Map products can also be accessed with a pop-up menu. The extension is designed specifically to optimize display speed of RPF data in ArcMap. The display speed excels with very large file datasets (1+TB) and with product types where sheer numbers of files are challenging (e.g., large geographical areas of CIB1).
