Agisoft PhotoScan 1.0.0 pre-release

[George]

aha! got it!
but how can I select? With the common tool kit in the upper ribbon, right?

[Alexey Pasumansky]

Hello George,

Yes, the same selection tools are valid for dense cloud. Please also note that there are two view modes for dense cloud: colored by object colors (similar to sparse point cloud view and shaded mesh mode) and colored by assigned classes.

[George]

finally made a brief test
seems like classified Dense point cloud and corresponding options for mesh generation etc. are fantastic features.
I've tested PS 1.0.0 at my latest dataset covering 450 ha of a forested area (2500 images) and generated DTM (quasi one) from DPC; and I compared the result with official DTM (produced based on LIDAR of just 15 cm accuracy). What I have got is very "little" relative difference. Not exceeding 1,5 meters (an average is around 1 meter) at more or less sparse forest and less than 0,2-0,3 meters at open areas. When it comes to a dense forest there are still issues but looks promissing. Dense forest is actually never easy surface. But guys this is 450 ha or 4,5 sq.km - quite a large surface tho.

The user reports regarding 1.0.0. seems very promising with regards to functionality and performance.

Does this new version somehow impact the recommended / required hardware profile?

(I know there is wiki info on hardware matters but that info is based on 0.9.1 and I figured the new version seems to perform differently?)

I will shortly invest in a workstation and I am looking for the sweet spot with regards to performance & capacity / price.

Hello mr map,

Actually, hardware recommendations are the same for version 1.0.0.

Hi,

anyone could tell me because the bundle_adjust pass takes a couple of hours with an AMD Phenom X6 1055T and 16GB of RAM with a set of 1240 photos? I don't remember this pass during texture creation in 0.9.1...

Thanks in advance

[Alexey Pasumansky]

Hello djbill,

It's due to Color correction feature. If you switch it off in the Build Texture dialog the processing time will be reduced significantly.

[djbill]

OK, thank you so much for the reply. Color correction feature works very well, it's a pity doesn't use it  I want just understand why it take long time.

Question for Alexey...

Will there be a new user manual / tutorials that accompany the new version once it is officially released?

Cheers,
Airmap3D

[Alexey Pasumansky]

Hello Airmap3D,

Of course, there will be new manuals and tutorials for the version 1.0.0. Currently we can't publish finished version, since there are frequent changes in GUI and functionality and in this case such materials could be outdated in a few weeks.

Hello again. I have been testing 1.0 build 1736 (x64) and getting much worse align than in 0.91 buld 1703 (x64). Both alignment processes have same settings: High, no image pair preselect, max points is 80000 and mask constrain is ON. Attached is shot from 1.0 and 0.91.

[Alexey Pasumansky]

Hello admir,

Could you please provide the dataset where we can reproduce alignment problems in 1.0.0 and good results with 0.9.1?

[admir]

Sure, you need photos, masks and projects ?

[Alexey Pasumansky]

Hello admir,

At least we need photos and masks, but project files (just with the result of alignment) will be also useful for comparison.

helluuu

Unless I am blind.. I can't find View UV's anymore.....    this might come in handy sometimes
