Ground control based pre-selection for chunk alignment

[dcm39]

Hi, not sure if this exists some how already, but I don't think it does.

When running chunk alignment, I have ground control for each chunk separately, but it seems that the "preselection" option for the point based alignment is just the simple "generic preselection".

For a nice linear survey with three chunks, the software really shouldn't need to try and match all of the photos, only the nearby ones. Can we have a "ground control" preselection for chunk alignment?

Hello dcm39,

If you have all the chunks already referenced in the same coordinate system, they are actually already aligned.

Indeed they are, but the precision to which they are aligned is not the same as that achieved by feature matching unless the ground control is very accurate.
