General / export/ import the estimated camera positions

« on: June 11, 2025, 12:24:27 PM »

I am using Agisoft again after a break of four or five years. With older versions, I used to export the estimated/corrected camera positions to a CSV file, which I would then import again for a second run.
Now, I have the option to export in Omega Phi Kappa (.txt) format, but I cannot import in this format.
I can export to the Agisoft XML format, but this only contains EXIF file information, not the estimated positions. How can I export the estimated camera positions in Agisoft XML format?
The objective is to import the estimated camera positions into Agisoft Metashape.

General / Selecting the dense point cloud inside a region:

« on: July 20, 2020, 11:37:00 AM »

I want to select a dense point cloud inside a region (to delete it /to replace it/to merge two point clouds). Currently, I can perform these tasks by rectangular/ free-form selection, but it delivers undesirable results.

Python and Java API / Invalid argument value: projection

« on: January 23, 2020, 12:24:24 PM »

I am trying to generate multiple Orthomosiac by using script.
Staring point: I have refined Mesh.

Code: [Select]

                m1 = getMarker(chunk, "ms1")
m2 = getMarker(chunk," ms2")
m3 = getMarker(chunk, "ms3")


horizontal = m2.position - m1.position
vertical = m3.position - m1.position
normal = cross(vertical, horizontal)
vertical = cross(horizontal, normal)
horizontal = horizontal.normalized()

R = Metashape.Matrix ([horizontal, vertical, -normal])
proj = Metashape.Matrix().Rotation(R)
print("proj  =", proj )


#build orthomosaic
chunk.buildOrthomosaic(surface_type=Metashape.ModelData, blending = Metashape.MosaicBlending, fill_holes = True, projection = proj)


out:

proj  = Matrix([[-0.9827276862695309, -0.120715591313001, 0.14026418164765703, 0.0],

        [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0]])

This script was working with photoscan but not with Metashape 1.6.

Python and Java API / Orthomosaic based on mesh

« on: August 20, 2018, 05:53:09 PM »

Using DEM i can get orthomosaic....

Code: [Select]

chunk.buildOrthomosaic(surface = PhotoScan.ElevationData
But, how can make orthomosaic based on mesh instead of using DEM?

surface:PhotoScan.MESH?

General / Importance of accurate GPS in bundle block adjustment

« on: April 20, 2018, 01:13:31 PM »

I am just wodering about the importance of accuracy of GPS in bundle block adjustment done by PhotoScan.
we will use HERE+RTK GNSS Set for the positioning of UAV which claims cm accuracy.

Does any one have experience with that (HERE+RTK GNSS) and estimated  its accurcy (cm??)?.

Do I have to bother about accuracy of (HERE+RTK GNSS) if I am using 8 well-distributed controll points.

Is there any other better positioning system in the market for UAV?

General / Video using Photoscan 1.4

« on: October 13, 2017, 11:18:46 AM »

First of all, i didn't find that how can I post this inside Pre-release section, so please shift this post in that section..

I read many posts on video generation using V 1.4 but still donot know how can I generate video inside Photoscan V1.4.
Do I need mesh OR pointcloud OR DEM for that. How can I make/edit video path. I have not found any tutorial, video, PDF on this topic. Any help would be appreciated.

General / Creating/removing Markers in V 1.3

« on: September 06, 2017, 07:06:22 PM »

I want to create markers.

I  use Command Create Markers 
Flage in the current image is green and the Flage in other (e.g., it is projected in 20 images) is blue.
I want to project/use  marker in only 10 images and donot want to use marker in all 20 images because I cannot see it properly. Now I am clicking on marker(with blue FLAGE) in rest 10 images and removing Marker. It works but takes a lot of time. How can I remove this Marker in more than one images in a decent/quick way.

General / Unwarping the building , othophotos

« on: July 29, 2016, 10:56:21 AM »

My task is to unwrap the building using orthophotos.

I have dense pointcloud, mesh

I am making orthophotos of all sides of the building.

My current workflow is:
1: Make orthophoto using markers m1-m2 , m2-m3, mn-1-mn ( see attached images please).
2: For each orthophoto I have to make separate project because i want to have project where I have already edited my orthophoto and can be edited latter on also.
3: It works but take so long and memory problem also due to too many copies of the project.

My question is:
Can I save more than one orthophoto in a project which can be edited latter also. At the moment I can't rename the orthophoto in the project (NOT for export), so each time when I make orthophoto it overwrites.
IF yes, is there any script that can be used to generate multiple orthphotos (using different markers obviously) and save it in the project to edit latter on.
