IIQ MATCHER/FLATTENER

Overview

IIQ MATCHER/FLATTENER is a utility for preprocessing raw image directories from the ACO plane before using IX Capture to generate 4-band CIR imagery. It addresses issues with image matching due to camera triggering delays and ensures compatibility with IX Capture's "By File" import method.

Key functions:

• Equalizes the number of RGB and NIR images
• Flattens the directory structure for batch processing
• Moves unmatched images to an "unmatched" subdirectory
