Hello,
I have the final orthomosaic image. I want to do the following task:
- Given a pixel coordinate in the orthomosaic image, I want to find the corresponding pixel coordinate in the original raw image.
The images in my chunk are not georeferenced.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Arjun

Orthomosaic coordinates are 2D, but to obtain reprojections on source oriented images you need the 3rd coordinate. So you must have at least a dem under the orthomosaic to get what you want.
So I guess the workflow is
Ortho image coordinates (2D) >> world 2d coordinates >> projection on DEM/model to gather Z >> reproject 3D point to source images >> get reprojection pixel coordinates.
You need python but is doable.

Hello,

Thank you very much for your help. I am new to this and still figuring out the Python API. Could you please point me to the exact function calls I will need to use for the workflow you suggested? Or if there is a snippet of code which gets this done, could you please share that?

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Arjun
