<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div>Ah, ugly. Well, pretty really, but ugly from a data perspective. So systematic bias in structure from motion is an issue with all systems, and difficult to overcome with drone imagery in particular, if the drone is flown in a single Z plane, particularly over relatively flat terrain. This is an indictment of the data, just stating a known difficulty. This is why balloon and kite flights, aside from areal coverage, are so pleasant to process -- plenty of x, y, and z movement, so less chance for systematic bias. I've been wondering if once a dataset like Open Terrain (a global highest-available) is available, if it might be helpful for compensating for bias in datasets, and also help with data classification pipelines that can have separate meshing mechanisms for ground, vegetation, and human structures.<br><br></div>That said, let's get a little more context on the dataset and processing -- did you use ground control and if so, how was it distributed? It would be interesting to know if you had ground control in the center of the scene, if ODM is ignoring this extra info. Also, what kind of camera is it? It is possible that the three parameter corrections that ODM is performing are inadequate, and a 6-parameter model would be better.<br><br></div>Finally, if you have the time, try processing through the OpenSfM pipeline <a href="https://github.com/OpenDroneMap/OpenDroneMap/pull/50">https://github.com/OpenDroneMap/OpenDroneMap/pull/50</a> . It uses a 6-parameter model, and some alternate assumptions for SfM in general.<br><br></div>Cheers,<br></div>Best,<br></div>Steve<br><div><div><div><div><br><br><br></div></div></div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jun 22, 2015 at 10:26 AM, Anna Petrášová <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:kratochanna@gmail.com" target="_blank">kratochanna@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><span style="font-size:12.8000001907349px">Hi,</span><div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px">I was comparing a georeferenced DSM generated from ODM mesh with a DEM derived from lidar data.
