Hello Alexey,

I looked at the change log and didn't see anything about depth maps. Does 0.9.1 solve the depth map problem for projects in which camera positions are within view of other cameras (http://www.agisoft.ru/forum/index.php?topic=971.0)?

Hello RalfH,

There are no changes for skipping pairs during depth maps calculation. Unfortunately, this task is not on top of our "to do list", since such camera configuration is not usually used and in most cases is not optimal.

Hello Alexey,

I know that this is not an optimal camera configuration, but in some cases it is the simplest (and sometimes the only) way to work (i.e. when access is restricted or when there is very little time). In the case of one of my projects, walking on the surface was leaving footprints, so I could only walk across the feature once and take pictures in the direction in which I was walking. I think it would be good to make PhotoScan even more flexible for "unusual" configurations.

Hello Foodman,

This means that no conversions to 8-bit per channel are performed during any processing step.

Why does the above link not point to the 0.9.1 log file but only the Version 0.9.0 build? Where could I check the latest improvements?
CU,

Geert

This pre-release is considered as unstable and is not recommended for production use.

[...]

Note
Project files created with 0.9.1 version can't be opened with earlier versions.

This means that it is very difficult to test 0.9.1 and also keep working with 0.9.0 without having to repeatedly uninstall/install the two different versions.

We calculate the time depth is about 30-40 percent better.
470 product images are calculated in 1h.40 min.
instead of 3 hours. !
revelation :)

hello,

one thing I have to mention is the optimizing step. Only to check I optimized an old project with the new version of photoscan. I didnt change anything in the settings and wanted to compare the results.
Scales were not used, K4 disortion  disabled. For optimizing were used only GCP with an accuracy of +-2cm (marker accuracy set to 0 in settings). With the version 0.9.0 there are no probnlems. After
two optimizing steps (and gradual selection) the pointcloud had already a good quality (error under 10cm). With the pre-release version there were no way to fit the pointcloud under 20 cm, even after lot of more optimizing steps. Please note that the settings were the same. What I noticed was, that the optimizing step in pre-release works with less number of iteration?? That is what I saw in the "console". The weights are not growing after each iteration. Maybe it happens in the backround now. I dont know.


After this I tried to handle the problem with the new scale bars and the K4 fit, but there was no improvement to get the bundle adjustment under 20 cm. In fact in my opinion scale bars wouldnt improve the result when using GCP. Because the information about the distance between the GCP already exists in the coordinates.

Any idea how to fix this? Is it a known problem??

Thanks a lot!
