Hello everyone,
using CR for survey-grade scanning, I’m very interested in making sure, that accuracy is as best as possible in all captured areas.
Having control over the TIE-POINTS which are used for camera alignment and being able to manually take some tie-points out -either by hand/lasso selection or via a tool that allows gradual deletion of tie-points based on their estimated precision value- would make a lot of sense IMHO.
Two examples:
In one scene, there is occasional car traffic around a large industrial building. No chance to not have them on some of the lets say 2.000 images in the set during a couple of hours of aerial flight. Those things are appearing, moving and disappearing, leaving tie point fragments here and there, which I think, should not be used for global alignment. I wish I could manually delete those tie points with the lasso tool.
In another scene there is a lot of vegetation while the wind is blowing quite a bit. Now I would rather want the cameras to be aligned to static points than permanently moving foliage. I wish I could delete those green points, based on a colour picker tool with some settings for the inclusion of similar points (tones of green).
I’d like to know, if my assumption is correct when I think that manually cleaning the tie-point-cloud can lead to higher accuracy i.e. via more realistic camera calibration.
What do the devs think about that?
Best regards, Bodo
