Dear Agisoft team,
I have a view questions mostly regarding the build texture options related to multi.tiff images (Photoscan Version 1.0.4 (64 bit) professional):
1. I read in the forum that “Textures inside of Photoscan is stored in 8 bit (
http://www.agisoft.com/forum/index.php?topic=177.msg723#msg723). Is this still valid and does this mean, that there is no reason to import images with more than 8 bit color depth (per layer/band)?
2. I’m using areal images to reconstruct the 3D structure. However, I’m mostly interested in the near planar surfaces within the 3D topography when it comes to the real color representation within my multi.tiff bands. In the manual I read for the Texture mapping modes that (adaptive) orthophoto mapping “produces … more compact texture representations … for near planar scenes …”. What do you mean by “compact” - does this mean the quality is improved or reduced?
3. Regarding the texture size/count: I don’t entirely understand the description here: Say I have image data in 1 cm ground resolution of a 50 m by 50 m area. If I would like to keep that resolution for my texture I would have to set the pixel size to 5000? Does the count influence the export image, since it is not shown in the Export Orthophoto window?
4. And a bit more general: How can I derive the true resolution of my DEM & Orthophoto? Is this given by the Ground resolution data in the processing report?
Thank you very much.
