Sentera 6X Camera Support
« on: April 03, 2020, 07:50:29 PM »
Hello there,

I was wondering if there were any plans to support the Sentera 6X multispectral camera? (https://sentera.com/6x/)
The images from this camera are 5 band tif files (Blue, Green, Red, RedEdge, and NIR). There is also an EXE runnable that Sentera provides that can automatically split the image into 5 subfolders; one for each band.

I have attempted to run Metashape on both of these options, the straight tif files and the folder structure. For both "Import Photos" and "Import Folder" I selected the Multi-Camera System. Both options work as expected and import the images as 5 bands. Furthermore, the python function chunk.addPhotos(list_of_paths, Metashape.MultiplaneLayout) provided no difference from the GUI operations. From what I can tell, there may be no issue with the image import. The only problem I've noticed is that, when viewing an image, it shows all 5 channels side by side instead of just the master.

The problem is that the orthomosaic it produces only has one band - the master band specifically.

The drive link is a sample image as well as a sample of the same image split into the 5 bands (sorry but it was bigger than the 512KB limit). Can you perhaps help me figure out how to produce 5 band orthomosaics?
