General / Re: Camera Shutters and lens

« on: October 23, 2014, 12:22:16 PM »

Hi,
NEX5 works (manual focus and exposition), so I guess the NEX7 should work too with the 1 sec rate with rhe GENTLED remote shutter. I had NEX7 before it was sunk on the seabad (-50m) and it was working good with this shutter too. This shutter is smaller than a matchbox and it has 30 grams with the battery. It has intervalometer that can be adjusted by the screwdriver. About the lenses.. There is no perfect lens. I have tried 16mm pancake and it was the one that I've used 90%. It is light, small and wide but it is loosing sharpnes on the edge. I have tried Sigma 19mm but it didn't work well with the vibrations and pointed downwards. Zeiss distagon 19mm was catastrophic with the color aberation and HEAVY. So the final decision was 16mm.
The best pictures from the air (sharpest) I doing today with my Samsung NEX1000 with it's original cheap plastic lens 20-50mm set to aperture 8, and manual focus.

GREAT JOB !!
Finally, we have something that can be used for presentation of our job to customers and is free of charge. For now we are missing stand-alone installation. Maybe few tools can be added too, like distance measurement, profile section, coordinates of the point etc...
Models exported to the TLS  look great and the Viewer is fast..
Congratulations !!

Yes, classifying helps but with the large canopy cover some additional classifying with color would be helpfull too.

I agree with the JMR in total. The first time I've seen Photoscan I was scared with the ease it handles houndreds of photos and makes reliable and good reseults withtn the hours instead of days of hard work. And now when I see that somone has it without paying a cent for it I am scared more.
How about USB dongle?

Hi,
I have noticed the problem with the elevations when I use HTRS96 TM with orthometric heights in Photomod. When I use that DTM in Sputnik it substracts geoidal undulation once again and my elevation in Sputnik gets reduced once again although I haven't askled fo it.

Hi Patribus,

I had the same problem and it's been resolved. The memory module was bad !! Just check the RAM first.. Stupid HW error.

Feature Requests / Break lines, manual DTM editing

« on: September 11, 2014, 10:24:03 AM »

Hi,
I am a professional surveyor and was suprised with the automatic functions that really work in Photoscan. So far, I am very happy with the photo alignment and really fast production of the orthophoto. But, for the final result, I need to have much simpler and accurate DTM that can be used for the contour generation. For now, I am just exporting the orientation australis file as well as camera calibration and using it in Photomod to finalize the product, BUT I would like to be able to make it directly in the Photoscan. For that I would like to have some aditional 3D screen that would enable me to draw my breaklines and ground points manually. So, the final outcome DTM shouldn't have millions of points but rather hundreds. That's something that surveyors need to represent the terrein as simple as possible but accurate.
Is there a chance to have such a funcion in the future version of the Photoscan? Or, if you have any better idea than Photomod (Racurs), please, advise me.

Can you make point filtering by color range?

Dear Alexey,

I've seen the pirate version of the Photoscan. Please, pay attention to it and make some better protection for the next upgrade.

Create a mesh in Autocad and import it..

Feature Requests / Re: Point Cloud classification by color

« on: June 09, 2014, 03:13:29 PM »

YES !! That's the feature that would be great to classify roofs, dense vegetation canopy etc. Doing this together with the regular existing filter we should be able to get the true DTM..

+1, sure !!

Feature Requests / Seam lines EDITING (Mosaic)

« on: January 13, 2014, 01:26:23 AM »

I would like to be able to see and manually EDIT the seam lines before making a Digital Orthophoto. With this option it's going to be a perfect solution for UAV DOP production.
Automatic seam line is in 95% perfectly OK but sometimes it goes trough the middle of the house which is not nice looking. So, make them visible and editable.
