Displaying Calculated Camera Positions for Tiles

Calculated camera positions for photos can only be displayed after the aerotriangulation step is complete.

Note:    When calculated camera positions are displayed, you can also view calculated property information in the photo list. See "Calculated Camera Position Properties" in the "Photo Management" chapter for information.  

To display photos in the camera positions calculated through aerotriangulation:

1.     Select the required tile. See "Selecting Tiles" in this chapter. The Tile tab is displayed.

2.     On the Tile tab, in the Calculated Photos group, toggle on Calculated. In the 3D Window, the photos are displayed in the camera positions calculated through aerotriangulation, and calculated positioning information is included in the photo list. See "Photo List" in the "Photo Management" chapter for information.

3.     On the Tile tab, in the Calculated Photos group, in the Color Code dropdown, select one of the following options for color coding of the photos’ camera symbols in the 3D Window: 

§  Status – Camera symbols are color coded based on status (calculated/ not calculated).

§  Collection – Camera symbols are color coded according to collection, with a random color assigned to each collection’s camera symbol.

§  Median Error – Camera symbols are color coded according to median error (px):

·         Green: px < 0.5

·         Orange: 0.5 < px < 1

·         Purple: px > 1

§  Reconstruction Group – Camera symbols are color coded according to reconstruction group (i.e., photo blocks created in the AT process), with a random color assigned to each reconstruction group’s camera symbol. This information is significant in identifying the largest group (i.e., the group PhotoMesh will perform reconstruction on) and determining which additional photos can be connected to this group using tie points and other methods, for optimal output.

§  Number of Matches - Camera symbols are color coded according to the number of photo matches:

·         Red: matches <= 2

·         Orange: 2< matches <= 4

·         Green: matches > 4
