Feature Requests / Re-Point to Folder Path for missing Images.

« on: February 21, 2012, 11:03:05 PM »

Hi Alexey,

Last suggestion for today I promise  would it be useful to integrate a path pointing tool? So you can right click on a Chunk and re-point missing photographs by selecting the folder location using Explorer? the refresh so they reappear or load back into Agisoft?

Currently I find I have to move .psz builds, or align files around allot, renaming folders, moving across networks, sometimes Agisoft cant find the images, as it is pointing to a different directory and there is no way to re-point to find them. Being able to guide the Chunk to reload them would be most useful.

Thanks, Lee

Feature Requests / Batch "Automatic Colour Key" tool for masking and cutting

« on: February 21, 2012, 10:59:06 PM »

Hi Alexey,

I have another suggestion for Agisoft Photoscan. Would it be possible to think about the addition of a Batch "Automatic Colour Key" tool for masking and cutting.

Say you have 10-20 photographs, with a well lit Chroma Key Background, Green, Blue, White or Black etc. Being able to use a "Color Picker" to choose which colour you want Auto Masking to mask. Choose your colour and it cycles through the images in Agisoft, masking them. Then at the end of the build it auto cuts away those masked areas when using Object type: Arbitrary and Geometry type: Smooth.

This would be a fantastic addition to processing 4D by masking and cutting at the source in Agisoft after each build.

Thanks, Lee

Feature Requests / Lasso tool

« on: February 21, 2012, 10:53:43 PM »

Hi Alexey, I was wondering if it might be possible to add in a Lasso tool to the currently group of selection tools? i.e. a free hand drawing select tool.

The box select and circle are good but it means multiple clicks sometimes and navigating in the viewport around a model to cut it.

General / Stair Step effect

« on: October 31, 2011, 11:46:44 PM »

Hi Agisoft users, I'm new here. Just been using Agisoft Photoscan over the last few days, I've got some really interesting results using a minimal amount of input images but I am also getting some weird stair step effects (see attached) is there a reason for this?

As an example, I'm processing 2 images as Stereo Pairs, perhaps more images are required to overcome this stepping effect? the effect seems to appear in the Normal Map that can be generated, not so much in the depth map. It kind of resembles the issues you can get with displacement map when using 8bit images instead of 32bit?

I used Arbitrary, High and Smooth as Geometry settings.

Any helps or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Incredible software 

Thanks,
Lee

Feature Requests / After Align Photos, Image swapping?

« on: October 31, 2011, 07:34:43 PM »

I'm new here and to using Agisoft PhotoScan (incredible software) 

I was wondering, when using a fixed Camera Rig, after loading the images into Agisoft and doing Align Photos would it be possible to be able to swap in and out images keeping that alignment position? perhaps by right clicking on the Blue Camera position Square in the viewport?

This would be very handy for a Camera Rig that is fixed and never moves but the subject might do, so new sets can be processed using the same Camera positions. Would this work with Agisoft?

I have noticed that if I load image sets taken with the same cameras in the same position in Real Life, I run Align Photos and do Build Geometry and sometimes the size of the exported .obj will differ from a previous build from another set of photos. Even though those Photos were taken from the same position on the same rig?

I hope my request makes sense.

Best,
Lee
