arcgis desktop - Creating shapefile of satellite image footprints?


I'm looking for a tool or a workflow to compute satellite image footprints, for a large number of images across directories, and produce a shapefile. Ideal work flow would be:



  • fire up tool

  • point to a directory and provide file mask

  • the tool browses directory and sub-directories and compute footprints

  • the tool produces a shapefile with a polygon for each footprint and pre-selected attributes


It would preferably be Esri or ERDAS based, but not necessarily.




Answer



In arcgis10 when you add images to a raster mosaic dataset there are options to create footprints and metadata.
