New Command-Line Interface support for UltraMap
24 March 2026
We are excited to introduce a major new capability designed for technical operators and developers: Command-Line Interface (CLI) support for both Raw Data Center (RDC) and UltraMap Studio. Available as an additional licensed feature, this new functionality brings powerful automation options to UltraCam aerial imagery data processing, helping users streamline workflows, reduce manual effort, and significantly increase overall processing efficiency.
The new CLI support makes nearly all relevant functions of the graphical user interface available in a scriptable, command-driven environment. Users can execute key UltraMap processing steps directly from the command line, including:
- Automated raw data processing via the Raw Data Center CLI, and
- Full workflow execution using the UltraMap CLI, from project creation and ingest to processing and final data export
Depending on the specific workflow, the level of automation varies. Regardless of the extent, the benefits are clear: standardizing repetitive tasks, reducing user interaction, and enabling fully unattended execution of complex workflows.
AUTOMATION FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY
Quickly set up projects and reduce manual effort and waiting times by automating multi-step workflows
CONSISTENCY & REPEATABILITY
Achieve identical results across production runs and teams by standardizing processing steps
SCALABLE PROCESSING CAPACITY
Run unattended batch jobs or schedule nighttime processing to maximize hardware utilization
PROFESSIONAL-GRADE RELIABILITY
Leverage deterministic behavior and structured error handling for stable, dependable operations
Full workflow automation for power users
The CLI is an advanced feature intended for users with scripting experience and is optimized for professional production environments. Both RDC and UltraMap CLI components offer:
- Predictable, consistent behavior aligned with GUI operations
- Structured error handling for efficient debugging and analysis
- Flexible configuration options, from simple routines to highly customized workflows
Users can run single commands as needed or combine multiple commands into automated scripts that execute end-to-end workflows without supervision. This makes the CLI especially valuable for large-scale processing or overnight production runs.
Please note that while Vexcel provides command references and example scripts, it does not support customization of workflows for specific customer environments.
