General / Re: Beta-testing of new texture blending algorithm

« Last post by wgreenePIMS on October 31, 2025, 03:30:37 PM »

Thanks, I was aware of that option and it does work but it extends the processing time quite significantly. It would be amazing if we could use the natural option just with orthomosaicking so we can also specify the output resolution from the get-go! Especially in Caribbean settings where we have a lot of moving soft corals (and fish!), the natural texturing seems like a huge step up from the traditional mosaic blending.

Feature Requests / Re: Cropping orthophotos

« Last post by Alexey Pasumansky on October 31, 2025, 01:50:08 PM »

Hello Maxime,

Do you think if applying masks to the images before building the orthomosaic may work for this task? Masked areas on the source images will not appear on the orthorectified photos (and therefore on the final orthomosaic as well).

Same mask can be applied to all the images, or, if necessary, using the Python script can be generated individually for every image, if there is any algorithm, how it can be estimated.

Hello sylvaindemanet,

Can you please provide additional details about the steps that you are following, so that we can reproduce the problem on our side?

Is there any plan to expand this new natural texturing algorithm to orthomosaic generation rather than just model texturing? Many coral reef researchers do most of their analysis on orthomosaics, not 3d models, and thus would greatly benefit from this...

Hello,
in latest version, you can use Texture as Color Source in Build Orthomosaic dialog... see attached screen capture

Why are you using such old version?

Sorry,  I just noticed that it has been updated to version 2.2.2. Could you please check if updating to a newer version might solve this problem?

General / Upgrading

I want to upgrade to the latest (V2.2.2). I just want to verify what I will need to perpetuate my license so I can have it handy. I'm in the middle of a significant project and I don't want any delays.

Feature Requests / Cropping orthophotos

« Last post by Helimax on October 30, 2025, 02:20:52 PM »

Hello,

It would be really great to be able to apply a cropping ratio to orthophotos.

For correlation, the overlaps must be significant, but for mosaicking this presents disadvantages

Indeed, when using a smart stitching algorithm like the "refine seamlines" function, the lines are sometimes very winding, and the software may search for areas at the edges of images.

In the attached example, you can see that image AK31 is chosen for the area directly above image AK30. For standard orthophoto (not true ortho) this increases the tilt on the buildings. But this is an important factor for our customers.

The ability to crop orthophotos solves these problems in addition to reducing file sizes.

For example, we often use overlap ratios of 70/55% during shooting, but for mosaicking, we prefer ratios of 38/34%. Therefore, we need to crop the images by 52% longitudinally and 32% laterally.
Or else :
High : 26%
Down : 26%
Left : 16%
Right : 16%
(In some cases the cropping High/Down or Left/Right may be different.)

This function could be used either during the orthomosaic build workflow or when exporting orthophotos for mosaicking with third-party software.

Best regards

Maxime

Bug Reports / Pointcloud being saved after creating an orthophoto based on the pointcloud

« Last post by sylvaindemanet on October 30, 2025, 01:36:52 PM »

Dear all,


We've been using the feature of creating an orthophoto based from the pointcloud and noticed that once the orthophoto hase been created. Agisoft save the file. It sorts of an issue since we cut our pointcloud in various area to generate the orthophoto. Luckly the restore pointcloud feature is there but it restores everything that we've filtered and erased while we could just go back to our last "cut" in our pointcloud with the return arrow.

Is there a specific reason we can't go back like we used to when we generate orthophotos from our model for example?

Regards
