General / Automatic GCP identification
« on: October 24, 2012, 01:19:16 PM »
We use Photoscan for orthophoto and DEM generation from UAV imagery. We have established a workflow where we scatter orange targets throughout the study area for which we collect accurate differential GPS coordinates. We then manually identify these targets in PhotoScan for more accurate aerotriangulation. In a previous workflow with Bundler and PMVS2, we were able to automatically identify the orange points in the 3D point cloud and match them with their corresponding GPS points. This saved a lot of manual work. I have been wondering whether such a feature could be implemented in PhotoScan. When I saw the changelog in the latest release I noticed the following:
"Added support for automatic coded target detection (12 bit and 16 bit)"
Unfortunately, I have not been able to find out any more information about it in the wiki, forum, or help pages. I am wondering whether this new feature is related to my 'wish'. If so, could you provide information on how to use it? If not, would you be able to include this as a feature request?
Thanks and kind regards,
Arko
