I have an area where I created a DEM and orthomosaic but when I zoom way in on the pixels I see there is a slight shift (less than a pixel). I need to be able to overlay these products so that a pixel in the DEM is completey coincident with an underlying pixel in the orthomosaic. I have tried several different settings but shifting occurs no matter what. I would think they should be spot on considering they generated from the same source.  Is there something I'm missing?

Hello ChrisC,

Are you observing the same effect, if the orthomosaic gneeration resolution is set as a same value used for the DEM?

Also how you are checking that shift?

Hi Alexey, thanks for responding.

Yes, I am using the same resolution. I Build the DEM from the mesh using the default resolution (0.00135878 m)
Then I build the orthomosaic, click the Metres... button and enter in the same resolution (0.00135878 m)
The created DEM and Orthomosaic both have same resolution (1.36 mm/pix) and the pixel sizes are exactly the same.

I checked for the shift by zooming all the way in and visually checking for difference on screen, double clicking the mosaic and then double clicking the DEM. Thats where I see the shift, less than a pixel.
