Anyone else having this issue? I have it showing up on several near vertical edges. I have tried different meshing methods and different point cloud densities, but the results are the same.

Hello Bill,

Is it possible that some of the images related to the highlighted area are of the different brightness/contrast level compared to other images? What happens, when you use Assign images option for the problematic area - are there color issues?

Hi Alexey,
Here are three screen grabs of different images assigned. The first one is the single image assign "img_5186.tif", the second one is single image assign "img_5187.tif", and the third image is multiple image assign "img_5186.tif" and "img_5187.tif". The photos are 16bit tif's.

single assigned img_5186.tif


single assigned img_5187.tif


multiple assigned img_5186.tif and img_5187.tif

Forgot to mention, the images are all similar in brightness/contrast.

Hello Bill,

Can you provide a part of this project, so that we can reproduce the problem on our side?

Okay Alexey, I'll send a link via email once it is uploaded.

It doesn't happen when blend mode is disabled.

This image is with blending mode Mosaic:



This image is with blending mode disabled:


All photos were taken with same aperture, shutter speed, and iso.

I recreated the project with JPEG images and there were no color issues with the orthomosaic. It appears to only be related to 16bit images and blending.

I had a similar thing, although not related to vertical edges rather just seams between photos, using 16bit tiffs.

mosaic blending gave nasty colours and dark/light effects, with colour correction making no difference.

blending disabled looked considerably better, and blending disabled with colour correction was almost perfect.

these were far from ideal photos taken in poor conditions, i had originally put it down to the funny camera angles and shadows in images.

Hi James,
Thanks for posting.
I also have the issues related to photo seams with 16bit images and blending that you indicate.

Thank you for the important information about 16-bit images. Looks like we've been able to reproduce it now and will try to fix it in the next update.

Hi Alexey,
Glad you were able to reproduce the problem. I was going to send you some of the photos that I was having the issues with, but I got busy with some other stuff. Let me know if you still want me to upload them.

Hello Bill,

Could you try to generate orthomosaic in the version 1.2.4 and report back if the issue is solved:
