Aligning Images with Control Points

Hello! Not sure If something is wrong with  my scene or if I have created too many control points, but after setting about 200 control points across 900 images and 12 laser scans, my image alignment progress bar seems to have halted at about 45% complete. Any advice here? Is there a max amount of control points I can make? 

Hi Lindsey.

Do you mean 200 unique (unique name) Control Points or just 2-3 control points on many images so total about 200 points set?

Yes, 200 unique points. each point I’ve tied about 2-6 times across a few images. Although a lot of them came up with red flags

Was any reason to set 200 control points?

Probably for 10K-100K images scans with LIDAR it can have a reason but for 900 images if you need more than 20 CPs this probably mean that something wrong.

Can you show some screenshots with scene, settings, control points in 1D view and on 3D sparse cloud view?

Hi Lindsey,

can’t imagine that there’s a limit, at least not that low.

I had more than 100 and it works fine.

CPs simulate Tie Points (by weight - 10 means counts like 10 images).

Did you try several times?

What stage are you in ? Look at the console for that…
