Hey SimActive Community!

Haven't been here in a while, good to see it is growing, found some cool and useful topics.

I am working on a project with 25K images, collected over 6 days, I wonder if any of you had any suggestions on project creation, I was thinking if there is a way to separate each day and visualize in C3D for ease of image/project management.

Happy Friday.

Ross

Hi Ross,

We just had a training meeting with David 2 weeks ago. He showed us a neat way of accomplishing what you are trying to do, I a hope my explanation is clear enough...

Before importing your data it would be good to have them separated in specific folders by collection date. At the camera configuration step, increase the number of cameras/groups to equal the number of collection days you have (folders), in your case it would be 6, I edit the name of the Camera1 and add a date to match the collection date.

I run my AT and DEM using all cameras/groups, however, I am able to select (disable/enable) cameras groups before running the orthorectification step, this allows me to QC the results of each group and disable any orthos that might not look "good" before running the mosaic step. We are using distributed processing with 2 PCs. processed 19K images, without any problems.

Hi Mark and Ross.

@Mark, great advice! one last thing to add would be to review the following post viewtopic.php?t=97&sid=2e67116f5ac76966c4d089fdd27c211d, with some additional suggestions on cleaning up a project.

Hi Mark and David!

Great suggestions, I really liked the ability to disable a full group of cameras/days before orthorectifying, very cool tool, when doing QC on a large project.

Thank you,

Ross
