General / Moving checkpoints after aligning and optimising

« on: July 06, 2019, 10:52:36 PM »

Forgive me - beginner's question...

I'm doing a topographical survey using DJI Inspire 2 /X7 and following the famous (& excellent) SAV workflow for GCPs and checkpoints.

On completion, I noticed that some of my checkpoints (which were not used as GCPs in the processing) are in various different positions as I move between the photos in which they feature.

Two questions:
1) is it necessary for error checking after the processing workflow to filter the images by a given checkpoints and position them against the photos?
2) am I correct to assume that the fact the markers are moving between images like this suggests a significant error has crept in?

I'm just working through exactly the same process. Alexey, can you just clarify your last line... when you say 'If the name of the geoid file is not displayed.....' where do you mean? And should I be looking for it as the filename or as an EPSG code?

Thanks - that worked!
(slightly fiddly in Dropbox because on download it insists on unpacking the .zip, so I had to repack it)

Yes please - I was wondering about that too


In the longer term, it really would be a great improvement if users could somehow have visibility of the cloud files for these sorts of eventualities!

Yes, it's the project.zip file

Thanks Alexey

Sadly the problem has now compounded. I came back to the machine to find that the download was so big that it filled the hard drive and now I get the error 'cannot open archive', presumably because the .zip project file is corrupted. All the files seem to be present in the '.files' folder. How do I now get back into my project?

(I must say, from my tests so far, the way the cloud processing is configured is really problematic)

General / Abort download of large cloud export

Is there any way to abort the creation of a large project component after it has been processed in the cloud?
I just ran an orthomosaic creation, not realising it would result in an 8Gb file which is now going to take 4 hours to download (and it seems I can't do anything else on the project until that sync is complete)
I'd prefer just to scrap that so that I can create the orthomosaic locally while doing other things.
