As for the orthomosaic clipping by boundary - we are not yet able to reproduce the problem. Do you observe it in any project?
How the original (not clipped) orthomosaic looks like, what is the source image format and bit depth? Any additional information related to the project specifics might be helpful.

Hello Alexey. Believe it or not, now I cannot get the orthomasaic madness to occur again.
the not clipped one is this:

I created a dupicate applying clipping and duplicating orthophotos, and got the one I sent yesterday with the blocky blacked out areas. By doing the very same today, the black thing never comes up. why on earth? so for the moment, you can forget the weird issue.
Thanks for your support,

Geobit

Same operation with 2.1.2

General / Re: What is the purpose of setting capture distance in the reference pane?

« on: December 04, 2024, 07:57:51 PM »

Hi,

I capture nadir and obliques images (30-45°) during the same flight and process them all together in metashape.

What is the purpose of setting capture distance in the reference pane and which distance should I put, drone height above the ground or the oblique distance according to the angle of the camera?

Does it improve reconstruction or accuracy?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Vincent

Hi Vincent: I guess it is required to estimate the overlap with oblique images. it will tell Metashape if two images will actually overlap or not. if they do not, why should we try to find matches?
If the value is left blank, Metashape will ignore shoting angles. So is part of the reference preselection strategy and can reduce alignment times. I don't think it can change anything in terms of accuracy directly, but if it is entered wrong, it can lead to some images not aligned or to a less robust structure because some links may be ignored.

Hello José,

Was the point cloud generated in Metashape based on images or was it imported from another source as a laser scan?

Hi Alexey
5 oriented scans plus 3 panoramic images aligned. All good,
Merded scans into one point cloud and then colorised. All good
export point cloud packed as potree zip, all good.
export as LAS no color
export as LAZ no color
export as E57. color is fine but there is a part of the cloud missing.
Thanks

Point cloud export problems:
I have a dense cloud colored in my project.
Exported with colors in LAS gives no colors
Exported with colors in LAZ gives wrong colors
Exportes with colors in E57 coes out slightly trimmed
Exported with color as PLY and no program seems able to open, even metashape crashes.

Saving the project as psz 1.8  gives an error I've never seen before

After running Align Photos... I selected photos that were not aligned, then right clicked and chose Align Selected Cameras. In the Workspace panel it indicates more of the photos aligned, but in the Model view the tie points from the original alignment are gone.

I can confirm the issue.

What is the NVIDIA 565-566 drivers bug? I am currently using Metashape Pro version 2.1.3 build 18946 with NVIDIA driver 566.14, after running Build_Texture the texture looks really messed up, but Build Orthomosaic works fine. What version NVIDIA driver is recommended?

I just saw the thread for the pre-release this evening. I downloaded it and will start using it.

Hi, bisenberger
I'm with 561.09 and no issues.

Cheers

Hello, Agisoft
Texturing a mesh with well aligned spherical images leads to a complete mad texture.

Feature Requests / Re: Add Vertex to polyon without altering existing boundaries

« on: November 07, 2024, 01:26:53 AM »

Hello DayGeckoArt:
I sincerely do not want Agisoft to change the way the vertex addition works now. I understand your wish but there are many good reasons to keep it as is because it makes a lot faster and easier to densify a shape.
But there is a workaround to solve your problem.
1. draw your rectangle.

2. set snap mode to edge and draw a polyline with the shape you want to divert snapping on the edges that you want to keep

3. select again your rectangle and add as many vertices as required to copy the shape of the polyline. Don't care if they distort your rectangle.

4. set snap mode to vertex and drag your new vertices to the desired location snapping to the auxiliary polyline.


I hope the solution is good enough for you.

Feature Requests / Re: Frame index zero fill option for movie import function

Hello KotaYonezawa,

You can use the following filename template:

Code: [Select]

frame{filenum:04}.png
Thus you will get frame00000.png, frame00001.png, frame00002.png labeling for the produced frames.

Hi, Alexey
Where can be found some documentation about templates usage?
Thanks

Feature Requests / Re: Selection Toolset -> Add Polygon Tool

« on: October 15, 2024, 11:20:26 PM »

Please Agisoft give us a proper polygon selector. Lasso tool is okay for isolated clusters of points or triangles, but NOT GOOD for fine selection. Add a modifier to the current tool allowing drawing an irregular fence in the same way we draw polygon shapes. clic-clic-clic-clic... tab or doble clic

Please
Please
Please
And also PLEASE USE CURSOR ICONS TO LET USER KNOW WHICH KIND OF TOOL IS ENGAGED.
It's been nearly twenty years loyaly using Photoscan/Metashape and you keep ignoring this simple request, come on!... Almost twenty years blaming myself (and blaming you too) every single day when I do a wrong move of the bounding box, rotate rotate object, or selected something when I just wanted to do a different thing.

Users, please, tell me! Is not the same thing happening to you quite often?

Please Agisoft. Lasso tool is for small isolated clusters, but not for fine selection.
