Retrieve Scalebar Error

[ser1993]

Hello,

I have a script that automatically generates scalebars but I cannot find a way to retrieve the scalebar error.
Is there something in the Python API am I missing? If not, would it be possible to expose this parameter in the API?
It could be really helpful to filter out outliers for instance.

Thanks,
Matteo

Hello Matteo,

Please check how the estimated distance and error values are calculated for scale bars in the following script published in our GitHub repository:
https://github.com/agisoft-llc/metashape-scripts/blob/master/src/save_estimated_reference.py

Basically, error is the difference between reference distance and estimated distance between the scale bar end points.
