I wonder if there was any CLI command for sub-selecting aligned or unaligned images? I don’t find such a command on your website list of CLI commands, although in a manual instance it is possible, like in this screenshot.
Hi Julian,
unfortunately there is no such command.
Would you need something like that? If so, can you give us some example?
Dear Ondrej, thank you very much for your answer! Let me explain, why such a command could be very useful for me: I experimented quite a lot time in combining Photogammetry with Laserscans. in the “normal” way, with aligning all images at one time, the results were very aproximatlely, the mesh of the (Drone) Images was not seamless to the Laserscan mesh and the texture was not very sharp. I than found out that it is possible to align only one image to the Laserscan-Component. It than makes tie points only to the LSPs. If I select the features source “use component features” a second image can be aligned and also makes tie points to the LSPs and not tie ponts to the other image. I proceeded this way, making several aligments with adding 1 image per alignment. Of course, not all all images are possible to align in this way, especially in higher areas, were there are not a lot of LSP tie points. Finally I add and align all the images, which did not align to the builded component and the result is really good, there are absolutely no blury textures. Because this method is a little bit time consuming, I made a simple CLI script like this, at program start all Images are excluded from alignment.
-selectImage “(1)” -enableAligment “true” - align
-selectImage “(2)” -enableAligment “true” - align
-selectImage “(3)” -enableAligment “true” - align
- etc…
The problem is, that in this way, if an Image is not registered, it will be left opened for alignment in the next step and may be aligned together with the next Image and sometimes builds a separate component. So my ideal Procedere would be, that all Images which are not registered are excluded from alignent and therefore a command like subselect unaligned would be nice:
-selectAllImages -“subselect unaligned” -enableAligment “false” -selectImage “(1)” -enableAligment “true” - align
-selectAllImages -“subselect unaligned” -enableAligment “false” -selectImage “(2)” -enableAligment “true” - align
-selectAllImages -“subselect unaligned” -enableAligment “false” -selectImage “(3)” -enableAligment “true” - align
- etc…
sorry for explaining that long!
best wishes, Julian
Hi Julian, thank you for the detailed explanation.
I will add this to our feature request database.
