Viewing a Production Report

The Production report contains statistical and graphical information about the build process. The first section of the report displays summary information: If the report is generated for a specific tile, it will only display information for that tile.

§  Basic project information including: project name, number of photos, and total input gigapixels.

§  Basic aerotriangulation information including: AT area, number of aerotriangulation tiles, calculated photos, and mean median error. The mean median error is the average of the median reprojection errors for all photos in the collection.

§  Basic reconstruction information including: output area, number of reconstruction tiles, and output coordinate system.

§  Performance information including: build and fuser time.

This summary section is followed on each report tab by detailed information and graphs relating to the respective tab:

§  (Build Process) Steps – Details about each build step: steps involved, tiles produced, processing time, and active fusers. When a reconstruction tile is selected, details display about the tile building steps (point cloud, model, texturing). When an aerotriangulation tile is selected, details display about the aerotriangulation.

§  Fusers – Statistics for each fuser regarding processing time for each build step and each tile in each step.
