Agisoft Metashape 1.6.0 pre-release

[bisenberger]

Some really good additions in this release, thanks Agisoft 

The Metashape Pro scripts aren't working with version 6.

Will out-of-core for meshing with depth maps be added in this release?

The api naming has been updated, all you need to do is rename some things to make it work again.

Thanks wojtek, it worked. 
I changed compatible_major_version = "1.5" to compatible_major_version = "1.6"

Hello Bill,

Agisoft Cloud account page has been updated, now it is possible to display 3D content (point clouds, mesh and tiled models) of the georeferenced projects in the cloud from the personal account page.
Currently the visualization is only accessible for the account page owner, but we are planning to implement the option to share the data via link and also to allow 2D results (DEM and orthomosaics) visualization.

Hi, I see in the changelog for Version 1.6.0th that it is possible to export normal maps with .OBJ format, yet I see no such option in any menu items or during export ... am I missing something?

It's done automatically provided that you've created it

Hi,

I've seen in API changelog  " Added Model.getActiveTexture() and Model.setActiveTexture()" methods.
I would like to switch programmatically between the different textures in order to make a capture of the textured model view for each of them.
Here's my code:

Code: [Select]

tex = Metashape.app.document.chunk.model.textures
num = 0
for i in tex:
Metashape.app.document.chunk.model.setActiveTexture(i,Metashape.Model.TextureType(i.type))
Capture = Metashape.app.captureModelView(width = 1114, height = 763, transparent = (True), hide_items = (True), source = Metashape.DataSource.ModelData, mode = Metashape.ModelViewMode.TexturedModelView)   
Cap = Metashape.Image(Capture.width, Capture.height, "RGBA", "U8")
Capture.save('C:/Users/.../Desktop/num{}.png'.format(num))
num +=1

But unfortunately it dosen't change the texture type of the model...
Any ideas please?

FYI using the latest build in the python API I get very low numbers of tie points after "match photo + align cameras", no matter which settings I use, and I often get complete crashes during the "align cameras step"

Moving back to 1.5.5 now, but will test the next pre release of 1.6 to see.

Hi Alexey,
Sounds great! that will be very useful.

Hi Alexey,

What is ''Guided image matching'' in Align photo stage mean please?
great update BTW.

I try the java binding, on windows 64, some small errors in method visibility but it look like some dependent dll are missing in the windows implementation ... is this the case ?
metashape.dll seems to need other dll ...

Any idea where can I found them ?

Hello Pierre,

Please check the pre-release update. Now Java bindings should include all the required DLLs.

I just tried Guided image match and got long time process and miss alignment many photos? So what dose it do?

Hello Mohamed,

Guided Matching option is recommended for the high resolution images, like 50-100+ MPix images in order to provide excessive tie points that could be missed by the feature point detector.

For common consumer grade cameras the feature would not give considerable effect and would take longer time, compared to the common workflow.

Hello Stephan,

Can you provide the code lines that you are using and the processing logs related to the crashed operations?

If you are running the matching and alignment multiple times for the same dataset, are you removing the previously acquired tie points and resetting the previous alignment?
