Feature Requests / Orthophoto Image Priority and Contour Labeling
« on: January 19, 2016, 07:28:20 AM »
Hi Alexey,

The updates to 1.2.x are looking very good.  However, I've encountered a couple of issues that could use some enhancement.

1.  In creating orthophotos, it would be helpful to be able to prioritize the use of specific images over others.  In order to obtain better results I've been running multi-level scans with my drone at two different elevations.  The results are generally good, but if I use all of the images to create the orthophoto, the result has a lot of regions of the image that use the upper layer of source images, resulting in lower resolution images in that area.  I can go into the project and disable the upper layer of images, but I then end up with a handful of white "holes" in the orthophoto presumably where the overlapping images don't happen to see down in between the trees.

2.  It would be helpful if the contours had options to label the contours, at least for the DXF export.

3.  Coupled to that, it would be helpful to have the ability to use English/Imperial units instead of metric.  I can use the appropriate 0.3048 m to create contours on one foot resolution, but if we can label the contours, I'd need them labeled in feet, not meters.  There are other places where it'd be nice to use English units, but this is the highest priority.

Thanks,

Beo

Bug Reports / Problem Exporting Contours
« on: December 01, 2015, 03:58:35 PM »
Using the new contour feature in V1.2.0, when I export, the highest contours don't seem to make it into the export.  Regardless of what I import into, those lines are missing.  Doing some experimentation, if I export polylines I seem to get the bottom half of what I'm looking for.  If I export polygons, I seem to get the upper surface that's missing from the lines output.

In addition to fixing the export, it would be much more helpful to have the option to export to DXF or some other non-GIS format, since that's the reason I need the contours to begin with is to move into another CAD package.  If users have to buy and use a separate tool to convert the PhotoScan output and have an extra step in the process, the contour option isn't really very helpful over the previous version where you had to use an external tool to generate and export contours. 

Thanks!

Beo
