Feature Requests / Re: Marker Refinement

« on: March 02, 2017, 09:55:32 AM »

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll give them a go.

I've noticed that perhaps Photoscan generates a hidden surface from the sparse cloud immediately after orientation??? I've placed a single marker after orientation and gotten grey markers in the other photos approximately where a surface would be. Which was a nuisance for me because I was trying to mark an elevated point and so the grey markers were well away from where I wanted them. I didn't have a mesh or DEM, and the only way to stop the behavior was to deleted the sparse cloud, mark my elevated points with guide lines, and reorient.

Feature Requests / Marker Refinement

« on: March 02, 2017, 06:08:31 AM »

Once a marker is placed in a photo it seems it's intersection with a surface is used to approximately place markers in other photos. Sometimes the surface is not so good and the markers are placed well away from where they will end up. Ideally, once a marker is positively placed in two or more photos the rest of the markers should update their positions as we now have a reliable intersection with which to estimate the location of the remaining markers. This would speed up the process of moving markers to their final locations in larger image sets.

Excuse the post please if there is already a way to do this, but I cannot find it.

General / Extract point coordinates?

« on: February 22, 2017, 02:30:58 AM »

Hello,

Say I have created a project and georeferenced it. It is now in my job coordinate system, and I notice a point of interest that I would like real world coordinates for. If the point does not lay on the surface I have created in the project is there any way I can identify this point in a few photos and extract the intersected coordinates? Things like roof corners, tops of power poles or any other unique points that do not lay on a surface.

Cheers.
