Filter Photos by Point possibly not working

[SK12345]

Hello Agisoft Team,

I'm trying to use Filter Photos by Point to find which photos contribute to the misaligned section of a point cloud, however, it doesn't seem to be working as I would expect.

Is the correct way to use this function to select some points from the dense or sparse cloud, then right click and click "Filter Photos by Point"?
The way I am expecting it to work, is that it would select the photos which gave me those selected points (then I can then reset the alignment of those photos or delete). Is my understanding correct? If so, it doesn't appear to be working at all.

I'm using Metashape 1.5.4.

Thanks in advance,
Sean

Hello Sean,

Filter Photos by Point uses the point where you have clicked with the mouse. "by Tie Points" option requires the selection of the sparse cloud points.

At the moment there's no filtering based on the dense cloud selection, but instead you can draw a shape in the area of interest on the dense cloud and filter the photos by the selected shape.

Hello Alexey,

Thank you very much for the clarification. I've worked out what I was doing wrong. I was looking in the wrong place for the selected photos.

Thanks again,
Sean

For other people who are running into this problem:

The Filter by Tie points does work, but the photos are selected in the Photos Tab (which is not visible by default).

It would be more clear if they would be also selected Workspace->Chunk->Cameras.
