I've been using ContextCapture Cloud for a while now, and there are some key functions I'm missing in the software as it is today. I’ve made a list of functions I see as key to optimize the workflow.
The possibility to change coordinate system before reconstruction (image coordinate system)
For me it's strange that there is no possibility to change the coordinate systems of the input data before reconstruction. My understanding of the 3MX format does not support conversion to different coordinate systems (it only works in what I assume is WGS84?). If there was a possibility to convert the images or the aero triangulated dataset to the correct coordinate system the GCP’s would appear close to their true position before tagging, which make the process quicker and easier.
There is also strange that the 3MX format (the display format used in Cloud) cannot be converted (or it appears that way, see image). To be able to see the model together with the GCP is useful.
Library of height models
A library that includes more height models, as I don’t find the height model I use in the list, and that I must shut down the application, copy a file into the project folder and then lunch the application feels annoying and not user friendly.
The use of the word “Calibration” is confusing
In ContextCapture Center / Master the term “calibration” is used to describe camera calibration. However, in the Cloud Console calibration is used instead of Aero Triangulation, which makes everything a bit confusing. That should be fixed as there.
