Added laser Scans, now residuals are seemingly infinite

Hi there,

Chris - I’ll see if I can figure out how to export multiple e57 or ptx files - rc did end up with 36 las files (I noticed a cube representing the laser scan with each face having its own image

So as I mentioned, I started again and followed the following process.:

  1. set coordinate system to epsg:2278 / Texas South Central (ftUS) for both Project and output
  2. imported e57 (36 files in one component after alignment)
  3. added drone orthos, aligned, added a bunch of control points to merge 4 components
  4. added handheld camera orbit, added a few more control points
  5. added handheld camera detailed shots, added more control points
  6. got component 0 with 2/553, component 1 with 546/553 (not sure what happened to the other 5 pics, but have seen missing pictures before so assuming it’s normal) (see below)
  7. Note no residuals appearing
  8. Normal reconstruction started with an estimated finish time about 50 min ago.  What’s interesting is that the progress bar seemed to stop in the same place with the previous attempt.

I’ll let this continue for a few more hours (may just let it chug overnight), but the last time I ended up having to abort and that’s when the residuals appeared.

I think my next step is to try to get individual e57 for each scan (not registered elsewhere) and try to align them in RC.

If anyone has any advice on this, I’d greatly appreciate it.
