I have created a model with several laser scans and drone images.  
When I go to create an Ortho image, all I get is B&W QR code looking images.  
I re-ran just the drone images and the orthos turn out fine, but I need the laser scan data to clean up the edges.  
Any ideas?

Which settings were used to create an ortho projection? Was the model fully textured, or was only the unwrap created?

This looks like the model was unwrapped and the ortho projection was created from a “textured” (in this case unwrapped) model. Have you tried any other rendering methods (for example, from a colored model or maybe image mosaicing)?
