Hello Pkroks,
Project file with only alignment results should have considerably smaller size.
Otherwise I can suggest the following:
- make sure that the following settings values are set in the Reference pane settings dialog: marker accuracy (m) = 0.005 (or similar according to the measurement device precision), marker accuracy (pix) = 0.1 pix, tie point accuracy (pix) = 1 pix,
- export markers to XML file,
- remove markers from the project,
- reset camera alignment for all the cameras,
- execute the following command from the Console pane (equal to Align Selected, but without adaptive camera model fitting):
PhotoScan.app.document.chunk.alignCameras(adaptive_fitting = False)
- then optimize camera alignment,
- then import only GCPs and optimize the alignment again.
Then check, if any surface reconstruction artifacts are observed, for example, by generating lower quality dense cloud.
And can you also please check, if the surface reconstruction issues are related to the areas of the flights overlap (as it seems that multiple flights are processed at once, and possible reason of the problem may be related to the difference in flight conditions)?
