Alignment indicator in photo pane... maybe with some numbers too
« on: February 12, 2016, 08:14:42 PM »
Presently (v. 1.2.3) the Worksplace provides a list of all photos in the project with an indicator of "NA" for non-aligned photos, but you only see the photo thumbnail one at a time as you click on them.

Conversely, the Photos pane shows thumbnails of everything, with indicators for markers placed in the photos, but no indication of whether or not they are aligned.  It would be great to add an icon indicator, much like the marker flags, that shows if the photo is aligned, or better yet, maybe have a gray frame around the image (similarly, disabled photos currently indicated with a red icon could have a red frame).

To make this even better, perhaps a couple numerical values could be displayed next to the icons?  I'd suggest [Projections] / [Total Key Points Available] : [Error (pix)]

Why do this?  In my case, I work primarily with very oblique photos for natural topography.  I often need to go through a manual process of resetting alignment of photos to get an optimal model.  Having the thumbnail and the alignment indicator right together, particularly with adding the Pixel Error and some Key Point details would increase my work efficiency quite a bit.

Thanks!

Hello Eric,

I can suggest the following workaround if you wish to work only with aligned or not aligned images:
- switch to the detailed view in Photos pane,
- sort cameras by Aligned column,
- select all aligned or not aligned cameras,
- right-click on selection and use Filter Photos by Selection option,
- switch back to the thumbnail view mode in the Photos pane.
Best regards,
