Metadata, Point selection techniques, gcp, data validation & mesh/dem editing

[jamiesbrain]

Hi guys,

Would like to see the following upgrades to Agisoft, long time user in various business using UAV mostly.

Metadata Report:
-Ability to include and withold items in the report by check box
-Ability to add external PDF pages (example gps marker measurment report from survey software) into photogram report at the location of my choosing...mostly just after or before marker accuracy table.  Or PPK processing results for photo reference positions added into triangulation.
-Ability to add company logo into header, front page etc within report.

Point selection techniques
-Ability to click the start of a selection and by holding down ctrl or alt key, turn it into a solid straight line that one can digitize a polygon, when you release it closes the poly to the start point.
-Ability to turn point classes on and off so point slection can occur by class
-Point selection by typing in elevation range

Mesh/DEM editing/gcp
-Ability to load in breaklines and use with elevation value existing from survey to form DEM or define solid line of structure when producing mesh object
-When producing a point cloud with no GCP input but using reference coordinates, ability to enter an average elevation for the whole model where you can input a point as a known or about height and the whole model shifts to that height relatively.
-Ability to load say ASTER GDEM2 that would give an averaged elevation value where user defines and rest of point cloud moves relative to singular point origin identified as bare earth/clear flat and open.  Option to select several locations and Agisoft understands the elevation accuracy of ASTER GDEM and attributes the heights as an about only.  Relays the about accuracy in metadata.
-When smoothing mesh, ability to hold or freeze solid line sections where a defined change of grade needs to be retained.
-Ability to select standard feature code list from ASPRS or the like feature code table import from CAD for feature capture off mesh/dem.
-Ability to produce more than 1 DEM or Mesh type within the same chunk and label as such
-Ability to capture only from selected class of points with all classes either displayed or only specific class displayed
-Ability to exclude pixel values in both tie point and dense cloud creation ie sky and water values by statistical pixel value rather than existing mask technique.
-Ability to load validation data ie from survey (points and lines) and run compare against agisoft result (DEM or nearest points in dense cloud) to show data validation/accuracy difference between gcp's used and independant data captured at same time or existing data.  Ability to add this into metadata as 2nd level validation against processing and gcp results.

Image production techniques
-Ability to undistort DNG RAW images and save has either DNG or any other image format Agisoft already uses.
-Ability to select a dynamic range from histogram for point cloud generation to remove noise
-Ability to pansharpen orthophoto or input images before output
-Easier integration of existing imagery ie Thermal as a 4th band to existing RGB imagery using the reference given by the UAV and matching of photos but use the RGB DEM to colour the point cloud.  end result output image with thermal radimetric band but also the ability to add thermal radiometric result per pixel to nearest point in cloud giving thermal values along with rgb to point cloud as well.

Lots of things I know, but these I feel would make life much easier within Agisoft to process and produce end to end as one product and my thoughts.

Thankyou.
Jamie
