Smart Marker detections by Surveyed GCP Location

[BenW22]

Hi,

Could you please consider adding this option to marker detection -

1. a csv or txt file (import reference command) is used to import the GCP locations.
2. Detect Marker command is run but with the option of only searching images within a nominated radius of the imported markers. The user would nominate the radius e,g 20 metres

Using this suggestion Metashape will only search images in the areas of the imported GCPs, which should speed up the process. Instead of every image or selected images

I have a project of 350 hectare area - 6500 images and 32 non-coded markers. I think if my suggestion  was implemented the process of detecting markers would be very quick.

Thanks for reading

Kind Regards
Ben

Hi Ben: The feature you want would only work well if absolute image geo-reference is good enough, and this is often not the case for elevations.  However, I can agree with you it could work fine after 3 markers have been pinned twice and the global transform is updated.
