confusion with CRS for GCPs
« on: September 29, 2024, 05:05:20 PM »
Hi,

I am currently using the Metashape Python API to automate the entire model generation process. As part of this, I am working with GCPs that are in a specific CRS, "WGS84 UTM XX", while the CRS for my project (based on the EXIF data in my images) is EPSG 4326.

I am unsure if everything should be in the same CRS, but I am experiencing high projected errors (>300 km). Could you provide an example of how to handle CRS for GCPs in this context?

Thank you.

Best regards,

Alexey Pasumansky

Hello krish_sai,

If you do not want to perform a preliminary conversion of the coordinates to the same coordinate system both for cameras and markers, then you need to open Reference pane settings dialog and set chunk's and marker's coordinate system to UTM projection and coordinate system for cameras to WGS84.
