Agisoft Metashape 1.8.0 pre-release

[bgreenstone]

Alexey, I do see that the mesh generated by 1.7 is a little bit larger (less crop) than 1.8.  That is interesting that 1.8 cropped it in more than 1.7.  Any reason why it would be different?  I've had scans cropped pretty tight on 1.7 before and never had a problem with the projection mapping, however.  Is there anything I can do on my end to make this come out correctly on 1.8?

Thanks!

Hi, just installed 1.8 on my second machine to process DNG taken with iphone13Promax and got pinkish texture.
Went back to 1.7.5 and all is fine.
Any idea what i did wrong and when I can update Metashape on my two computers?

Hold on...So 1.8 is now released (out of pre-release/Beta) even though its depth-maps based reconstruction is arguably worse than 1.7.x ? 😑🤔

Yep, Mesh from Depth Maps in 1.8 is still nowhere near as good as it was in 1.7.3, but the release version is definitely better than 1.7.4 thru earlier 1.8 betas.   I keep trying to use 1.8, but inevitably I have to go back to 1.7.3 to get usable results.

Well, this is interesting. I just re-ran three chunks that failed miserably with the last 1.8 beta. I ran them with the release version of 1.8 and they all came out perfect. Same exact settings as I ran with the beta. The only difference is that when I did these with the beta I had multiple chunks running in the batch. This time I just did one chunk at a time with the same batch script.  I will have to check later if the problem was caused by having multiple chunks, or if that’s just coincidence and something major got fixed in the release version of 1.8.  Either way this was a very surprising result, because the difference between what I got a couple days ago and what I just got now is night and day.

Hello,

Mask defocus area seems to be broken in released 1.8

Edit : I have the same issue in 1.7.6
