export DEM grayed out
« on: January 31, 2013, 06:12:40 PM »
Hi all,

I am trying to create a digital surface model from a soil surface in a laboratory setup. I shot several images and the model is nicely calculated in Photoscan. After building geometry (target type=height field; geometry type=sharp; quality=medium) I would expect the ability to export the DEM. Exporting the orthophoto works fine, but the option to export the DEM is grayed out. I'm not sure where to look how to solve this.

Could anyone explain what possible reasons could gray out the 'export DEM' function? (I don't have gps info, didn't give camera info, but positioned few relative ground control points).

Thanks!

ps: using PS 0.9.0 64-bit (build 1586)

Hello nanders,

At least three control points with specified coordinates should be checked on in the Ground Control pane. If this is done after pressing "Update" button the chunk will be referenced ([R] sing will appear next to chunk label in Ground Control pane) and the Export DEM feature will be available.
Best regards,
