Agisoft Metashape 1.8.0 pre-release

[Alexey Pasumansky]

Hello noodle,

The issue will be fixed in the next 1.8.0 pre-release update, thank you for reporting and sharing the problematic dataset.

I know that it's still very early pre-release but here's a first test. Same settings with Mesh generated from depthmaps:

1.7.4

1.8

1.7.4

1.8


On the plus side this issue which was introduced with 1.7 seems to have been mitigated:

1.7.4

1.8

Just wanted to point out that things are even worst in version 1.8.0 build 13354

Yeah, i'm not getting very good results either. Is there a tweak to revert back to depthmap version from 1.7.3?

edit: I will upload a test dataset and email it to support.

edit2: email sent

This version (1.8.0 build 13354) crashes while importing a points file in .las format, exported from a dense point cloud created by itself but segmented in tiles. Prior versions work without any problem. Submitted the crash report using the build in crash reporter app.
Best regards

Hello Renato,

The issue with the point cloud import will be fixed in the next update. Thank you for the reporting and submitting the report.

Accidentally ran a batch in 1.8.0 the build (trying to figure out what went wrong exactly)

EDIT: looks like that happened at the mesh generation stage, i retried that part using the 1.8.0 depth maps and it worked ok in 1.7.3. So it is not all wasted

Hello all,

We have published a pre-release update (build 13597) which includes additional depth maps de-noising filter step. Would be interesting to see, if you observe considerable improvement in the mesh reconstruction for the projects, where the issues have been observed in the previous pre-release versions. (depth maps should be re-calculated in the new version).

Hello support,

in latest 1.8 pre release, I notice that shape object no longer has type and vertices attributes... Is this permanent? It is concerning as I have quite a few scripts using shape.vertices.....

see attached screen copy

Hello,

When I load a DTM and shape in Viewer, they do not display while they are perfectly viewable in Global mapper,

see following

[Alexey Pasumansky]

Hello Paul,

For shape properties you should now access shape.geometry (actually, should be available in 1.7 API as well).

For example, to add a point shape:

Code: [Select]

point = chunk.shapes.addShape()
point.geometry = Metashape.Geometry.Point(Metashape.Vector([x,y,z]))

I have a project with 7 chunks. I ran the Batch Process - Build Mesh to process all the chunks. When it was finished it had only built part of the mesh for several of the chunks:



Version 1.8.0 build 13354

When I load a DTM and shape in Viewer, they do not display while they are perfectly viewable in Global mapper,

As for the DEM/Orthomosaic display in Agisoft Viewer, they can be only shown if Show Basemap layer option is enabled and these rasters are georeferenced in the coordinate system that can be transformed to WGS84.

Hello bisenberger,

Are there any disabled cameras in the chunk? Please also check, if the depth maps thumbnails show adequate information in the Photos pane or Photo view mode for all the cameras, or whether some depth maps are completely black?
P.S. the latest pre-release build number is 13597.

Hi Alexey,

thanks for this info. However, I have many scripts where I access the existing shape vertices with shape.vertices attribute. Now in 1.8, how do I access these vertices coordinates?

All cameras are enabled.

I had already uninstalled 1.8.0 before I seen your reply. I re-installed version 1.7.5, but get this message:


I will try installing the latest 1.8.0 build and check the depth maps.
