The option to only generate depth maps.
« on: May 24, 2020, 05:26:04 PM »
As the thread title says. It would be great to have the option to only generate depths maps separately from the mesh generation.
(Metashape Standard edition)
I often have to generate depth maps for a bigger volume (so that all of the cameras resolution is used) & then manually stop the process, resize the bounding box (to only reconstruct what i need) & finally reconstruct the mesh re-using the depth maps I've previously generated. This would eliminate the need to wait in front of the screen until the depth maps are generated & manually cancel the process etc.

Cheers

Mak

This has been requested a number of times before and I think this is going to be Pro version only feature for a while.

AFAIK (unless I'm wrong) it's not even available in the Pro version in the UI (you can do it though a script only).

Yeah that is what I meant, console or script.

Is this request different from chunk.buildDepthMaps?

Hello forumname,

Actually, yes. It is more about corresponding GUI option in Workflow menu or in Batch Process dialog.
