The image geometry is given by the hector_eqa_seg.dem_par file.

DESCRIPTION

This script extracts the DEM parameters from the DEM parameter file and writes them into an kml file using xml syntax. If other functions are required the script can be modified to support. When specifying the kml file to google earth the complete path must be specified to be correctly read:

googleearth /media/d1/ERS/Hector_Mine_20110523/geo/hector.kml

The kml file, image and the DEM parameter file should be colocated in the same directory.
