Restarting alignment failed
« on: June 14, 2018, 03:55:23 PM »
Hi, I'm new to PhotoScan.

I'm trying to process 270 photos of my holiday house in Greece  ;D

About 30 photos didn't aligned at first try. But the sparse point cloud looked good.

Trying to align the 30 photos left, I've added around 50 markers.
Those markers looked ok on the sparse cloud and the dense cloud.
when looking at there projections in the other photos, I add some corrections to manually apply.

I deleted the sparse point of cloud to regenerate it by doing : Workflow > Align photos.

But then, almost all photo did not align !!

I tried resetting all photos alignment, Reset Transform from the chunk, restarted alignment (with or without Reset alignment).
It didn't worked, my photos do not align.

Did I miss something?  Thanks

Hello Tony,

Are you using "reset current alignment" option in the Align Photos dialog? Can you also provide the full log related to the alignment operation?
Best regards,

Hello Alexey,

Thanks for your answer. Yes, I tried "reset current alignment" in the dialog.

I'll be at home tomorrow evening, I'll get the log.
What else can I provide? The photos set, the project file?

Hi,

I've finally found a workaround.

Some of my markers were misplaced after restarting alignment. And the sparse point cloud where empty

I've tried to restart alignment with Generic and Reference preselection unchecked.
Then my well aligned but the model where plited.

I've separated it with a new chunk.
