Regression in Pointcloud 3DTiles tileset data
« on: October 11, 2021, 03:39:01 PM »
When updating from 1.6.3 to 1.7.5 we noticed the following regression, especially the height is weird.
Expected
Code: [Select]
{'Height': {'maximum': 586.442 ± 5.9e-04, 'minimum': 406.613 ± 4.1e-04},
 'Latitude': {'maximum': 0.7694819644872486 ± 7.7e-07,
              'minimum': 0.7692585288653095 ± 7.7e-07},
 'Longitude': {'maximum': -2.0872437834475623 ± 2.1e-06,
               'minimum': -2.0874694308012236 ± 2.1e-06}}
Actualy
Code: [Select]
{'Height': {'maximum': -6356138.153753753, 'minimum': -6356339.057442965},
 'Latitude': {'maximum': 1.5611652318912046, 'minimum': 1.5359569979858492},
 'Longitude': {'maximum': 1.8649031691950797, 'minimum': -3.046626475879601}}

Our flow is: importPoints, exportPoints(PointsFormatCesium)

Is there a relevant changelog available for what could affect this?

Hello EE,

Please check, that the coordinate system is properly selected during import and export operations.

Also check, that there are no boundary shapes taken into account.

Using the Python API, this is the code we use:
Code: [Select]
            doc = Metashape.Document()
    doc.addChunk()
    doc.chunk.crs = Metashape.CoordinateSystem("EPSG::3857")
    doc.save("PSP.psx")
    doc.chunk.importPoints(
            projected_file,
            crs=Metashape.CoordinateSystem("EPSG::3857"),
        )
        doc.chunk.exportPoints(
            os.path.abspath(output_path),
            format=Metashape.PointsFormat.PointsFormatCesium,
        )

Is there anything that should be changed between 1.6 and 1.7?

I am not sure how to check the boundary shapes

Hello Evert,

Could you please check, if setting WGS84 coordinate system for Cesium export resolves the problem:

Code: [Select]
chunk.exportPoints(os.path.abspath(output_path), format=Metashape.PointsFormatCesium, crs=Metashape.CoordinateSystem('EPSG::4326'))

That does indeed seem to change the behaviour.
The values look similar (not exactly, few meters shift)
Code: [Select]
{'Height': {'maximum': 588.2065221817237, 'minimum': 411.24811327206055},
 'Latitude': {'maximum': 0.7694814403213569, 'minimum': 0.769259291829557},
 'Longitude': {'maximum': -2.08724332318532, 'minimum': -2.087468395182987}}

I thought Cesium was in ECEF and not 4326?
