General / Re: Agisoft Metashape 2.2.0 pre-release

« Last post by Alexey Pasumansky on December 02, 2024, 12:34:15 PM »

I have two display adapters in my computer, an AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050. In Metashape Preferences it list the AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT twice, one Vulkan and the other OpenCL. By default the OpenCL one is checked. Is this the prefered settings, and what is the difference?

Hello bisenberger,

The issue with AMD graphic card doubling in Preferences would be fixed in the next 2.2.0 pre-release update.

As for the Vulkan checkbox, you can check it on, but in the current version it does not have any effect. Later it would have meaning for GPU-based texturing and vertex colorization procedure.

General / Re: Scale bar "Update" Button is not working

« Last post by Alexey Pasumansky on December 02, 2024, 12:05:35 PM »

Hello Riko,

Please make sure that both markers in the ends of scale bar have at least two projections on the aligned images and that scale bar is checked on in the Reference pane before pressing the Update button.

If it doesn't help, please specify, how many scale bars are there in the Reference pane and whether there are any cameras or markers with input source coordinates that are checked on.

Hello dcobra,

Thank you for reporting.

We will fix it in the next update, as the splash screen should not show up, when Metashape is stated in network worker mode.

Agisoft Cloud / Re: Ortho view (2D)

« Last post by wojtas on November 29, 2024, 11:55:02 PM »

I mainly do surveying and mapping job and in my personal experience there is a value in simplification of our data to the clients. This affects not only the products we create but also the tools we provide them to use the data. For example, I do a lot of construction mapping to gather spatial information about the site, in particular classified point clouds and orthomosaics, but I can clearly divide the customers to two groups: proffesionals who use my data into CAD envicoment to create analysis, cross section etc. but they do have they own software to do that. On the other hand, there is a second group of engineers who would like to simply review the orthomosaics with the CAD layers in the background but they do not have proper software, probably they are not very willing to learn new software and advanced tools, and there is a great space for online geoportals just like Agisoft Cloud to fill this gap. I do belive that enabling Cloud viewer to 2D ortho view would be a great optimization to this group of customers, providing them simply tools to quick analyze of data.

Edit: I forgot to mention that currently I do have mixed feelings about the navigation tools in the 3D model view - lack of tools to reset the top view, aling the view to north etc. First thing came to my mind was the 2D ortho view and that was the reason I suggested it.

When I start a worker in network mode the Agisoft startup screen is displayed but never disappears. It remains on the screen in front of everything making it difficult to see anything. It says Loading geoids... Is this expected behavior?

General / Access node locked license from docker container

« Last post by Benjamim on November 29, 2024, 02:55:40 PM »

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to access a node locked license from inside a docker container, present in the same machine where the node locked license resides.
Does anyone know how I can do that and if that is possible at all?

Thanks!

@loggie24
If you used the other tools as well....probably it's something different. You could have a look here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIa_SNz3IuA&t=332s This helped me a lot with the gradual selection tools.

Yeah I already went through this video a while back. At this point I feel like I'v done more or less everything I could. I have gotten some better results masking out the background of the images and applying the mask to the key points on alignment, but any form of post alignment optimization has if anything created worse results.

Sometimes it also helps to do change the image alignment procedure. F.e. if your images have GPS metadata,  there might be an offset in one pass.  You could try to align images based on estimated locations rather than their source positions in the 'Reference preselection' setting. In case of homogeneous areas that are difficult to match, it might also be worth to try guided image matching.

No GPS data here, just handheld shooting. Guided image matching unfortunately doesn't yield any better results. Tried pretty much every alignment option with minimal improvements visible
