Feature Requests / Re: Export BoundingBox in BlocksExchange XML format
« on: December 23, 2023, 04:32:53 PM »
BlocksExchange format supports BoundingBox tag only as an attribute of external POD point cloud (according to BlocksExchange version 2.1 specification from ContextCapture User Guide). There seems to be no block level attribute to store reconstruction volume bounding box.

Please provide a link to a relevant documentation or an example BlocksExhange file if you still think it is supported.

Hello JMR,

Currently we do not constrain point cloud transformation applied during alignment based on the leveled status tag. Thank you for suggestion for possible improvements.

Relative orientation of prealigned laser scans can be fixed if necessary by placing prealigned laser scans into a fixed group. Support for geotags as additional observations can be added in the future, but in the current version they are not supported in the user interface.

The algorithm is similar to feature based image matching, but applied to the point cloud domain. On the first step representative point arrangements are detected in the laser scans and for each arrangement a descriptor is calculated describing its local neighborhood. On the next step these arrangements are matched by comparing their descriptors. Found correspondences are used to initialize relative orientation of the laser scans and are further used as tie points during adjustment.

Hello Michiel_0001,

Can you please send a support request to support@agisoft.com?

Please specify if you working with terrestrial or aerial laser scans, what steps are you performing for import and what file format are you using.

Hello spader,

The approach implemented in Metashape 2.1 performs simultaneous alignment of multiple point clouds using tie points obtained with geometric feature matching algorithm (similar to bundle adjustment).

Hello Mak,

The major new feature in Metashape 2.1 is geometric based alignment support for laser scans. The image based alignment didn't change from last year.

There is also a minor improvement in mesh generation algorithm in Metashape 2.1 that reduces banding in some cases, see https://www.agisoft.com/forum/index.php?topic=14934.0 for example.

Hello vasilis,

Please check an article on new Metashape 2.0 features in our knowledgebase for brief overview of the workflow differences:
https://agisoft.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/31000168452-the-main-differences-in-metashape-professional-2-0-0

We will provide more detailed instructions specifically on terrestrial laser data processing in a couple of weeks.

Hello JMR,

In Metashape Professional 2.0 both structured terrestrial laser scans and unstructured aerial laser scans have to be imported using Import Point Cloud command which now preserves all point attributes included structured information. The Import Depth Images command is intended to be used only for RGBD images from smartphones equiped with TOF depth sensor or similar devices. It still supports PTX and E57 import formats, but such workflow is deprecated in Metashape 2.0.

Hello flyzk,

If you don't know yet which version you are going to use it is better to start with Metashape Professional 1.8 and activate the license there. Such activation will work for both Metashape 2.0 and earlier versions.

LiDAR / depht map : could you show a sample of how it works or could you explain ?

Metashape Professional 2.0 will automatically use both photogrammetric depth maps and laser scans when generating a model or tiled model using Depth maps as data source. So all you need is a chunk with aligned images and lidar data imported using Import Point Cloud command with Use as Laser Scans flag set on.

Hello Mak,

The main change in reconstruction algorithms is support for integration of photogrammetric depth maps with aerial lidar data during mesh generation step.

Hello BetaTest,

The main differences in Metashape Professional 2.0 are the concept of laser scans and aerial lidar data support. For purely photogrammetric workflows it is indeed more like incremental update, although even in this case new features like DEM editing are introduced.

General / Spare license file for Metashape Professional
« on: March 10, 2022, 12:04:54 PM »
Starting from March 7, 2022 online activation system integrated into Metashape Professional software is temporary not working due to the unexpected blocking of activation servers. As a consequence, all activation/deactivation operations currently need to be performed using offline activation/deactivation procedure.

To ensure continuous availability of Metashape software for all our users we provide a license file that unlocks full Metashape Professional functionality without need to contact our support team. The license file allows to run Metashape Professional software on any computer till Aug 31, 2022.

The download link and installation instructions are available in our knowledge base:
https://agisoft.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/31000164657

We apologize for inconvenience.

General / Re: We really need help to fix the Cesium tiled format output
« on: February 05, 2022, 03:45:24 PM »
Hello Cyrilp,

The change was only in the export function, so there is no need to regenerate the tiles.

Moreover, you can even convert already exported tiles using Agisoft Viewer utility using the following procedure:
- Open existing tileset in Agisoft Viewer using Add Layer... command from File menu
- Select Save Layer... command from the layer context menu in the Layers pane
- Select Cesium 3D Tiles format in the Save As dialog box and provide a filename for the converted tileset.

Hello Cyrilp,

We updated Cesium 3D tiles export to use root tile transform instead of RTC_CENTER property in Metashape 1.8.1 build 13915.

Cesium 3D tiles exported from this new version should be compatible with both CesiumJS and aframe viewers.

Please let us know if there are still any problems.
