From reading this and the knowledge base entry I'm still not clear on exactly what effect this procedure will have on the transforms of the Laser Scans. Will the grouped and fixed laser scans maintain their position relative to each other while the entire group is still allowed to move?

Dear Jed,
Yes, the grouped and fixed laser scans will maintain their position relative to each other while the entire group is still allowed to move.

Dear Kiesel,
To keep both versions you need to uninstall the latest version first, then install the older version, then copy/move the installation directory to the custom location and then install the latest Metashape version to the default location.

Dear bassistas,
It would be helpful, if you can share the sample data (your E57 file).
If you are able to share the data, please send the download link to support@agisoft.com

Dear vasilis,
To align images and laser scans you need to use Align Photos command from the Workflow menu and enable the Reset current alignment parameter in the Align photos dialog window (alignment within the group will be preserved).  But please note, before run alignment you need to group laser scans into a fixed group.
To create a group: Select laser scans on the Workspace pane and choose Move Laser Scans > New Laser Scan Group.
Fixed group: select Set Group Type > Fixed from the Group context menu.

You can use fewer control points, because the alignment in the fixed group of laser scans is more stable.

Please check that you have specified to use your point clouds as laser scans. Select point cloud on the Workspace pane and choose Use as Laser Scans command from the Point Cloud context menu. If you have indicated that you want to use point clouds as a laser scans, they will be displayed in the Laser scans folder on the Workspace pane.


Thank you for your feedback, it is important to us!

General / Re: Undistort images using the pre-calibration file

Dear Phogi,
You can import camera calibration data into Metashape (select Tools > Camera calibration), and then use Convert Images command (select Tools > Export > Convert Images...) to export undistorted images. You need to enable - Transform to initial calibration (this parameter includes: remove distortion, center principal point and square pixels) in the Convert Images dialog window.

If you want camera calibration parameters to be used without changes at the alignment stage, then you need to fix these parameters in the Camera calibration dialog box (select Tools > Camera calibration and set Fixed parameters - All).

Hello,
Metashape does parse srt file if it is located in the same folder as a video file and it's name match video file name. For example if video file name is DJI_0335.MP4, subtitles should have name DJI_0335.srt . Then you can just import video as usual and check that metadata is imported in the Reference pane.
