How to Merge models from different data sources

Background

You have a requirement to do the following:

• Mix datasets taken from different point of view
• Use images that cover the model from all angles
• Mix datasets with images that have been taken at different resolutions
• Merge photos taken from different sources i.e. Dataset has been acquired from images taken using a DSLRr & Drone Camera

Steps to Accomplish

1) Create two (or more if required) independent blocks: Block1 / Block 2

2)Process AT separately on each block

                             
Block1                                                                                                 Block2

3) Create user tie-points in Block_1 (at least 3). These should also be visible in the photos of Block_2.

4) Export the tie-point list in a txt file.

5) Go to Block 2 and in the Surveys, tab Import the tie-points as control points

6) Perform the control points measurement in Block_2

7) Resubmit Block_2 AT and choose “use control points for rigid registration”

8) Merge both blocks

9) Create a reconstruction (adaptive tiling

10) Submit production
