Why is the DSM export broken?

I have made an orthomosaic from drone imagery. When I view the DSM inside RealityCapture it looks normal and the elevation and colorcoding is correct. However when I try to export the DSM it comes out as a black and white image with barely anything visible.

I must be missing some setting, but I can’t find the answer with Google so I ask you dear developers and fellow creators, how can I solve my problem?

This is how it looks in RealityCapture

Hi @MegaKingcrab
It is not broken. This is the way how DSM/DTM files are exported. You need to open DTM/DSM in some GIS application to see the surface and heights.

Thank you very much for you answer. I am a beginner to drones and photogrammetry in general and didn’t know I needed a special application to view DSMs. :+1:
