Does image orientation matter?
« on: February 20, 2016, 09:40:23 AM »
Hi,

I am taking images of fossils for a research project.

As I need both sides of the fossil, I take a series of images of the fossil laying on its right hand side, then I flip it over and take a series of photos laying on its left. I then process all images in the same chunk - often this works. Sometimes, even though I use different backing material when I flip the fossil, Photoscan aligns the flipped fossil images upside down.

I am wondering if I rotate the "flipped" images 180 degrees, does this have any effect on the alignment?

Thanks

Are you masking out the background?
