Feature Requests / Assign user classes

« on: December 22, 2015, 03:29:18 PM »

It would be very useful if photoscan would allow for the renaming of pointcloud classes, or for the definition of new classes. I work with archaeological data, different areas of an excavation are of varied interest. For instance we are not interested in the modern ground surface, the excavated ground surface is of interest where there are features e.g. a grave, wall etc. Therefore when I create a mesh I want the modern ground surface to be low resolution, the base of the trench, medium, and the features high. Also Features need to be treated as arbitrary objects whereas the ground surfaces can be seen as height objects. Currently I am assigning classes like water to the modern land surface, building to features and ground to the excavated area.

Adding this option would allow for a more logical assignment of the point cloud, thank you for this consideration.

General / xy reference points without a z-value

« on: September 10, 2015, 06:56:57 PM »

Hi, I am trying to align chunks using markers, but my reference markers are a 10m grid without z information.
I try to put in only xy values as a reference point but photoscan wont let me do it without a z value.
I put 0 in as the z value but obviously photoscan flattened my landscape.
Is there a dummy value I can put in for an unknown z value or another way around this?
Thanks
Gary
