Vignetting initialized

[Dud3r]

When importing MicaSense RedEdge imagery, I realized "Vignetting initialized" ouput on the console.
Does that mean that vignetting correction is applied to each image based on the metatags while importing? Or is vignetting correction only applied when performing "Calibrate reflectance"?

In my case I work on MicaSense imagery, that has already been corrected for vignetting (& row gradient & dark level) and converted to Radiance via Python in a previous step (before importing into PhotoScan). Thus it would be unpreferable to have a "second" vignetting correction.

Does anybody have more information on this topic?

Hello Dud3r,

PhotoScan Pro automatically loads vignetting information from teh XMP meta data for MicaSense cameras, if it is present there.

So you use one of the following methods to skip it:
- remove vignetting meta information from XMP,
- clear this information in PhotoScan after loading images (Tools Menu -> Calibrate Colors -> Reset) or via Python:

Code: [Select]

chunk = PhotoScan.app.document.chunk
for sensor in chunk.sensors:
    sensor.vignetting = None
Also you may need to set zero value to Black Level parameter in Camera Calibration dialog.
