Transferring georeferenced images to a Geodatabase

Hello Everyone,

I have a folder full of georeferenced image files that was done in ArcMap. It includes the image type (png/tiff/jpg) and other files that has the georeference data in it like the .aux.xml and .pgwx. Would it be possible to have FME move all of this data to a GDB? I'm not sure how this works with the multiple files associated with one image.

If you use a jpg reader for example, FME will automatically pick up the georeferencing info. Would suggest you read the whole folder, once for each format

Hello, it should be the case of reading them all and writing to gdb using the Esri Geodatabase (File Geodb Raster Dataset) writer. Owen

Hey Owen, Do you mind going into more detailing about reading them? How would you read the multiple files representing georeferenced images in a folder?

Ah ok I think Im getting the gist of it now. I was able to successfully move one image to the GDB. It doesnt appear to be georeferenced correctly but I'll play around with it.
