I am getting an error when trying to automate the import of marker / GCP data.

After I have used the 'Detect markers' tool, I then import a .csv formatted file manually using the 'import reference' icon within the 'Reference' pane on the left-hand side.


But automating this process as a batch command only allows 'Agisoft .xml' format files to be imported.


I have tried to create the Agisoft .xml file by loading the .csv file and then selecting the 'Export reference' and saving it as an 'Agisoft .xml' file but when I run the 'Import markers' job in the batch tool, the error 'Invalid file format' is created.

Does anyone have an example of how an 'Agisoft .xml' file is formatted which can be successfully loaded using the batch tool?

Thanks for your help.

Hello March,

I think you need to use "Import Reference" task in Batch Process dialog if you need to load coordinates of the markers from the text/csv file, similarly to Import Reference command used from the Reference pane directly.
