Hello DayGeckoArt,

Thank you for sharing additional information related to the project. I would say that the problem could be related to the chunk merging operation - can you please confirm, if it has been performed for this project?

If chunk merging has been applied, please specify the processing parameters (of Align Photos stage) used for each chunk, and also specify, if Merge Tie Points option has been used for the chunk merging procedure.

No merging because I didn't append a new chunk, I only added the new photos direclty.

I have done an append and a merge chunk with another project and that worked fine

Hello DayGeckoArt,

Seems that you have a typo in the posted script - ch.cameras list element is not defined. Also I suggest to skip Animation track cameras to avoid unexpected issues:

Code: [Select]

ch = Metashape.app.document.chunk
for i in range (len(ch.cameras)):
    if ch.cameras[i].type != Metashape.Camera.Type.Regular:
        continue
    ch.cameras[i].photo.path = ch.cameras[i].photo.path.replace(".tif", ".jpg")

EDIT: Ooops what I pasted above isn't what ended up working. This is what I did that has worked in a couple projects:

Code: [Select]

ch = Metashape.app.document.chunk
for i in range (len(ch.cameras)):
    ch.cameras[i].photo.path = ch.cameras[i].photo.path.replace(".tif", ".jpg")

Feature Requests / Re: Standard Plus (i.e. Medium) version please!

I've been learning Metashape Pro using the trial version to create georeferenced 3D models from drone photos. Only 9 days left on my trial and then I can't do it anymore! I'm modeling coastline landscapes and historic sites in Hawai'i on my own time, not commercially. Unfortunately the high price of the Pro version needed for georeferencing/GPS makes it unattainable. After my trial ends I'm going to try RealityCapture, but from what I've seen it's not as good as Agisoft

I'm learning drone 3D mapping and I've observed this issue. Agisoft chooses the photo closest to every given location geographically,  at least for creating the orthophoto. Since I mix higher and lower altitude photos, the higher ones often get chosen so I get blurry patches. I have to manually draw a polygon and then choose a different photo for that area. Disabling the more distant photos works, but not if you need parts of those images for coverage elsewhere in the model

BTW it doesn't do any processing, it doesn't appear to look for keypoints on the new photos. It just instantly says "Incompatible keypoints"

Hello DayGeckoArt,

How big is this project? Can you send the project saved after the alignment stage to support@agisoft.com, so that we could check it on our side? If possible please also send any image from the second sub-set that you are trying to re-align using incremental alignment feature. In case you have the processing log related to the failed alignment operation, please also send it to us.

I do have a copy saved before I added the new photos. I saved to a new file before doing "Reset Alignment". But it's 20GB! I do have everything logged

Hello DayGeckoArt,

Which version of Metashape you are using now and in which version the existing project has been created?

All the same version, the trial of Metashape Pro 1.8.2

I just tried adding new photos to an existing project for the first time and I followed the instructions in the manual, doing Align Photos. I kept getting this error. Then I tried selecting the Cameras, right click, and Align Selected. That worked

Edit: I spoke to soon. The new photos aren't aligned. They show up as "filename, NA"  under the Chunk tree

I'm bumping this thread because I had to change the script to work with the current version of Metashape. This is what I used to change tif to jpg. If you want to do it the other way, just swap them.

Also it took me a while to figure out I had to make a file with extension .py and press CTRL+R to select and run it. I kept trying to paste it into the console like you would do with ArcGIS

ch = Metashape.app.document.chunk
for i in range (len(ch.cameras)):
    ch.cameras.photo.path = ch.cameras.photo.path.replace(".tif", ".jpg")
