Hello,
I have a big dataset of images (>26k) taken with a lawn mower pattern and roughly facing down.
I have estimated the GPS position for the majority of them and imported it in the hope to speed up the alignment.
To do so I understand I need to set the Reference preselection to "Source". However it is not specified if the cameras with the GPS coordinates need to be "checkec" or "unchecked".
I have been taught to leave images, markers and scale bars unchecked images before Gradual Selection for Reprojection Error, and thus not during alignment.
So, I am wondering if the position of unchecked images is still used to speed up the matching and image pairing during alignment with preselection set to Source.
Otherwise, Should the cameras be checked during alignment and then unchecked (to avoid constrainig) during the first steps of the gradual selections?
Thank you
Filippo
