General / Merging chunks (can't merge the dense point clouds)

« on: August 07, 2022, 07:29:15 PM »

Hello

Please help me here. I've tried to merge 2 chunks (dense point clouds) to no avail. I researched that I must first transform the chunks as in all three types of transformation (move, rotate, scale):

The thing is that when I show the aligned chunks, the dense point clouds are already perfectly aligned and don't need to be moved etc.

I try to merge the chunks yet the resultant merged chunk does not have the dense point cloud included, just the cameras and tie points.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

General / Merge Chunks or Merge Dense Clouds (after Importing Dense Clouds)

« on: August 01, 2022, 10:14:03 PM »

Good day

I am my wits end here. Please help.

I have 3 questions:

1. I created 4 chunks with images, tie points, depth maps and dense clouds. I have aligned the chunks and all chunks have R next to them. When I merge the chunks and select dense cloud in the merge option, the resultant merged chunk only has the first chunks' dense cloud (see attached image). How do I ensure that all 4 dense clouds are merged into one? I would like to use the new merged chunk to be able to build a DEM and orthomosaic.

2. To try something different I exported dense clouds for each chunk as DCP files and imported only the DCP files into a chunk. I then deselected the 'set as default' and selected all 4 dense clouds and merged them. The result only gets to 90% before it finishes yet there is no merged dense cloud to be see at all. Where could it be? With this merged dense cloud I would like to create a DEM and orthomosaic.

3. Unrelated - from another project I have exported DEMs and orthomosaics as KMZ files yet when opening in Google Earth it says 'No result - empty KML file'. Why would this be? Is it due to the size of the KMZs (over 1gb)?

Thank you in advance!
