Hi everyone,
I am very new to PhotoScan so please forgive me if the answer to my question is very simple!
I am attempting to make an orthomosiac using GCP's. I have uploaded the photos (along with their calibration info - the photos have been aligned) and have also uploaded my GCP's and correctly identified them in all of the relevant photos; I am happy with their accuracy. Following on from this, i went through the optimization process. Firstly, i optimized with all the cameras still checked - this gave me error info within the 'reference marker' window. I then optimized with all the images unchecked - this made the 'model window' come up empty and also all my errors came up as 'nan' within the 'reference window'.
I am now unsure of whether this is correct? I was under the assumption that i should still have an error reading in the 'reference window' for the markers, and that my model should still be there? So, as to not waste time, i re-optimized the data with all the photos checked (to bring back the error values and the model image) and am now building a dense cloud (on medium quality) with only the markers checked. I am hoping that this was the right thing to do? Is anyone able to clarify that I am not wasting my time by doing this?
(Please note: I have uploaded a pdf with print screens to further illustrate the above paragraphs)
Any help/ advise would be greatly appreciated!
