Python and Java API / SSL python module and scripts dependencies

« Last post by densecloud on January 25, 2023, 05:27:46 PM »

Hi!

pip requires SSL so when I'm opening MS, it loads my python scripts (and the github ones). It then tries to import the missing dependencies and I get this error message:

Can't connect to HTTPS URL because the SSL module is not available.

The question is, how can I get SSL without messing MS python engine ?

Thanks!

General / Re: Invalid License file when upgrading to 2.0

« Last post by Alexey Pasumansky on January 25, 2023, 04:14:48 PM »

Hello John,

Yes, RLM license server is not compatible with the new activation system introduced in Metashape Pro 2.0. We are planning to release new license server utility for Metashape Pro 2.0 in a couple of weeks.

General / Invalid License file when upgrading to 2.0

« Last post by John_H on January 25, 2023, 01:08:56 PM »

Hi,

I have just upgraded to 2.0, but when starting I get the 'no license found' message. When I try to activate manually, I find the existing license file (C:\Program Files\Agisoft\Metashape Pro\Agisoft_Lizenzserver.lic), but I get an error saying invalid license file.

We have 25 (academic) network licenses.

Any ideas?

John

Edit: Ok, I've just seen that there's an issue with floating licenses - it would have been nice to have known this before installing - something should be added to the download page. I have activated a trial license in the meantime.

General / Camera positions clear, Images won't align

« Last post by PBEllies on January 25, 2023, 05:33:37 AM »

Hello!

I'm having trouble getting all photos from a set flight path to align and stitch together, especially at narrower points and over moving water.

Basic info on current collection techniques
1.   Beaches are surveyed with ~70% overlap side and front
2.   Amount of beach covered by moving water depends on tide height
3.   Individual photos do cover the whole beach

Photos are processed in agisoft using this procedure:
a.   Import 60-300 photos depending on beach
b.   Align photos (tie key point limit 700000; generic pre-selection and quality high)
c.   Build dense cloud (quality high)
d.   DEM
e.   Orthomosaic
f.   Export ortho as TIFF

I've attached a screencap of the camera positions + aligned photos, and the processing report.
 
Any advice relating to stitching those unaligned photos at camera locations (DJI0097, 0092...) would be appreciated!

General / Re: Agisoft Metashape 2.0.0 pre-release

This may seem like a minimal thing to look for, but the change of "Build Dense Cloud" to "Build Point Cloud" is fine, but now the order in the Workflow dropdown is out of order it seems and can be confusing. it is nice to have the workflow items in order of common workflow process order. Now Build Point Cloud is below Build Tiled Model.

Dear smiller,
Thank you for your feedback.

Usually, when building a model and a tiled model, users can skip building a point cloud and use depth maps as source data. Users who need a point cloud as a result usually process aerial data, after that they build DTM/DSM, Orthomosaic. Therefore, the workflow is divided into such sections and the order of commands has been changed.

Hello Matt,

Metashape Pro 2.0 is using a new activation system and would not be compatible with the license activation made in 1.x versions (this includes the floating licenses activated via RLM). New floating licensing server utility will be available in January. Meanwhile, if you are interested in version 2.0 evaluation, you can use trial licenses. For the trial license extension you can contact our support team (support@agisoft.com).

Is there any update on when the new Floating license utility will be out?

We are planning to release new utility for the floating license server in about two weeks. The floating license activation instruction will be updated in the Knowledge Base.

Feature Requests / Re: List photos in order of altitude photo was captured.

« Last post by Alexey Pasumansky on January 24, 2023, 01:41:33 PM »

Hello johnnokomis,

As a workaround you can sort the cameras by Altitude (either source or estimated) in the Reference pane.
