Questions about new calibrate color feature in 1.4

[dobedobedo]

Hi,

I just notice that in version 1.4, a new feature 'calibrate colors' is added. According to the changelog:

" Added Calibrate Colors command for vignetting and brightness calibration."

Meanwhile, the original 'color correction' option in 'build Orthomosaic' is removed.

Therefore, two questions are raised:
1. Is the 'calibrate colors' feature equivalent to the 'color correction' option in the previous version (1.3.4)?
2. When perform 'calibrate colors', we can select 'data source' and 'calibrate white balance'. Is it correct that 'data source' argument is for vignetting correction while 'calibrate white balance' is for brightness calibration?

Appreciated for your help!

Hello dobedobedo,

Yes, it can be said that Calibrate Colors procedure substitutes Color Correction option in Build Texture / Build Orthomosaic dialogs, This new function can be used any time, before texture/orthomosaic are generated.

White balance calibration options means that each band would be corrected separately, whereas with the option unchecked all bands will be corrected simultaneously. Data source means based on which surface the overlapping pixels form the different images will be taken into consideration.

Thanks Alex,

May I ask that does the previous 'color correction' option correct all bands separately or simultaneously?

Can you run the calibrate color function in batch??

Hello dobedobedo,

In the older version the "color correction" option worked similarly to disabled white balance option from 1.4.

Hello xabierr,

Batch Process in 1.4 includes "Calibrate Colors" task.
