GoPro not working with v1.1.0 update
« on: January 04, 2015, 08:17:06 PM »
I recently upgraded PhotoScan to the new version 1.1.0, and now i can't generate a point cloud using a chunk from my GoPro.  I know GoPro's are not the best for photogrammetry, but if you use the GoPro in the case, it flattens the lens and i was always able to generate a model this way with the older software version.

When i tried the new v1.1.0 for the first time with new images, i was unable to generate a point cloud, even though I had 117 photos with an an average of 60,000 points per image when aligning. I thought i had an issue with my images. So I used a chunk from a previous project (used a GoPro) that i processed fine using the older software. I was unable to generate a point cloud with this chunk too. Something's not right here. Either there is a new setting that I am missing, or v1.1.0 doesn't support GoPro's.  Can I revert back to the older version somehow, please???

Thanks for your time!!

Hello JohnSC,

If you are using Professional edition we suggest to switch Camera Type from Frame to Fisheye in the Camera Calibration dialog accessible from Tools Menu.

To process the data with the same settings please check that you've set Tie Point limit to zero in the Align Photos dialog. In this case the process should be similar to version 1.0.4.

Thanks Alexey for the fast response!!  :) 

I am not using the professional version.  I set the Tie Point limit to zero, I am crossing my fingers!!
