Importing Photos with Metadata

Import photos with calculated aerotriangulation data and internal camera parameters from INPHO, BINGO, or Stellacore files. When importing Inpho or Bingo results in a Cartesian coordinate system, such as ENU or ECEF, the AT step of the build process can be skipped (by selecting "Fully trusted input," in the Calculation Mode AT setting). Imported AT data in a projected coordinate system such as UTM, however, may be unreliable either due to earth curvature or earth curvature corrections performed in the other system. This is particularly true for datasets that contain oblique photos or large frames, or cover a large geographic area. For data of this type, aerotriangulation should be re-performed in PhotoMesh, i.e., use Reliable instead of Fully trusted for the Calculation Mode AT setting.

In PhotoMesh 8.0, radial/tangential distortion values are not imported with INPHO data, so it is recommended to select the "Refine AT" Calculation Mode AT setting to rerun the aerotriangulation process (performing only bundle adjustment and GCP).
