# Data Import

## Introduction

6X uses standard metadata tagging formats and labels, such as EXIF and XMP. They are compatible with standard GIS and image processing tools, such as Pix4D.

{% hint style="info" %}
The images are geo-tagged, not geo-tiffs, and as such, do not natively import into ArcGIS or other similar tools. Additional processing through Pix4D, Agrisoft Metashape, ODM, custom scripts or FieldAgent, is required.
{% endhint %}

6X implements a custom processing pipeline that is designed to maintain high linearity between a recorded digital number (DN) and irradiance. This characteristic is critical for utilization and analysis of multispectral data.

## Co-Registration

All image layers are captured simultaneously. The TIFF image layers are co-registered by the 6X onboard and in real-time. Registration, vignetting correction, and RGB color correction, can all be turned off, if desired.

## Folder Structure

Each session folder created by the 6X will contain 6 subfolders. One for each imager on the sensor.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://support.senterasensors.com/home/6x-series-sensors-user-guide/6x-series-sensors/data-offload/data-import.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
