Agisoft PhotoScan 1.2.0 pre-release

[Ingsayyad]

Is it possible to have auto fill function  for markers in orthophoto generation. At the moment I 'm typing markers ,require resolution etc. and if I forget some thing etc. I have to type all info again. If there will be last saved info, you can just change them.

Hello Ingsayyad,

Thank you for clarification on your workflow.

At the moment we are not planning to implement multiple orthomosaics per chunk, so it seems that the only solution is chunk duplicating to keep several mosaics in the same project. To reduce the space required for the project you can remove depth maps and dense clouds from the copies of the original chunks, leaving only Elevation or Mesh model, depending on the one used for the orthomosaic generation.

Hello nadar,

After building DEM you need to double click on the Elevation line in the Workspace pane. For contour lines display in the opened view please use Show Contours toolbar button.

[Alexey Pasumansky]

Hello nadar,

Preview images in the Workspace pane are taken from the thumbnail list in the Photos pane. So you can open Photos pane and wait until all the thumbnails are loaded.

Hi Alexey

Thank you very much for this one!

• Added Load Project, Export Cameras, Close Holes and Reset Region commands to Batch Process
dialog.

Much appreciated.

I am following every update and found some significant drop in tie points in your last night build.
I am having harder time to get the quality mesh from the same set of images comparing to the previous builds.

Please check the images below.

1.1.6 build 2038
1.2.0 build 2136
1.2.0 build 2143

There is one more little favour to ask.

In version 1.1.6 build 2038 "Numpad 0" centred the view.
In version 2.0.0 build any "Numpad 0" centres the view but also resets the view.
If that is intentional would it be possible to give back the old "Numpad 0" somewhere like a "." on a Numpad for example.

To be honest it is the matter of choice, therefore in 1.1.6 if I wanted centre my view and reset the view I hit Numpad 0 and Numpad 7 but still had a choice to do one or another.

Looking forward to hear from you.

Regards
Marcin

Hello Marcin,

Thank you for reporting.

Are you using the same tie point limit and accuracy values for all the tests?

[augeaz]

Thank you for a prompt reply.

I can confirm all the settings are the same and tests conducted on the same workstation.

1.1.6 build 2038
1.2.0 build 2136
1.2.0 build 2143

Hello mwillis,

The procedure can be briefly described as follows:
- after building the orthomosaics open it in the Ortho tab by double-clicking on the corresponding line in the Workspace pane,
- choose Draw Polygon instrument on the toolbar,
- draw a polygon,
- select polygon with the left-click then right-click on it and choose Assign Images in the context menu,
- specify the image (or images) to be used for the current fragment,
- repeat previous steps any times you wish on different areas,
- when all the changes have been made press Update Orthomosaic button on the toolbar to apply the changes (it will take some time).

Hello Alexey,
I tried this workflow hoping that roofs will be computed with higher accuracy.
So I marked a roof with the polygon and assigned an image to it where the whole roof is visible.
But the jagged roof edge is still there.
I have attached a screenshot.

Mathias

With latest release, when I classify Dense point cloud , I get 3 classes (never classified, ground (brown pts) and low points) as normal.

I save project and when I open it and try to build mesh using only ground points, only never classified class is active, all other are greyed out....altough I can see brown points in model view

yes, is pointless choose photos if all of them are jagged due to orthorectification, we need choose photos WITHOUT orthorectification.

Hello Mathias,

Have you used Assign image option? As there are small areas with black borders inside the shape that look like the automatically created seamlines.

[Alexey Pasumansky]

Hello pap1956,

We will fix that in the next update, thank you for reporting.

[Alexey Pasumansky]

Hello tutoss,

Such option will be considered for the next updates.

[tutoss]

thanks Alexey!

After several tests, definitely you need the option to import point clouds (*.las), and also the option of importing DEM, is basic and minimum for this new version. In addition for professional users the possibility dataset processing with image position and orientation very precise GNSS/IMU, setting really robust block with error detection and possibility of eliminating erroneous observations by numerical results.
