  • ContextCapture not respecting GPS locations (bad Aerotriangulation)

    For Aerotriangulation... how can I force CC to use the positional information for WGS84 GPS coordinates and NOT let CC change those locations under any circumstance? I am fine with rotation or other details changing, but the coords are not being respected…

    Hi, sorry for my english, my first language is spanish. i want to know what hardware part of pc is the most important to make a quickly process!, SSd, ram, cpu, board and /or gpu?????? with context capture! i have this computer: 2 Xeon Silver 4208 2…
  • Best practice and settings when running a photogrammetry project with drone photos including basic GPS data and survey grade GCP:s?

    I've been searching the forum and read all the manuals avalible for Context Capture Master and the process of aerotriangulation and productions of orthophotos. But I'm still uncertain on how the process should be conducted in order to achive best result…
  • Recommended number of control points - control point density

    I'm desperately searching for a page I've recently seen on the forum (or was it the Wiki?), describing the maths and process on how to determine a good distance between GCP;s on a large land survey project. - Is there anyone out there who know what…
  • Photos collected with DJI Mini 2 (Camera FC7303 ) show up with different focal length when added to Context Capture

    We collect thousands of photos from our municipality with our little drone and our goal is to create survey grade ortophotos and a presentable 3D model for the web. When adding the photos to Context Capture I assume camera data would be the same for all…
  • Photos collected with DJI Mini 2 (Camera FC7303 ) show up as horizontal in Context Capture but are taken vertically

    We're collecting photos with our DJI Mini 2 for the purpose of creating ortho-photos and/or 3D-models. We're flying at 100m and overlap typically 80/75% to get a final resolution of approximately 2-3cm/pixel. Multiple GCP;s are spread around the project…
  • About limit to zoom in to pixel size to measure GCPs for the Large Format Aerial Images

    Hello CC community, When solving AT, it is difficult to measure GCPs for the Large Format Aerial Images. Drone images are zoomed in to pixel size to measure GCPs. But I have trouble to measure GCPs to solve AT for the Large format images as IGI…
  • Increasing number of images calibrated during AT

    Hello, We have completed a flight with both LiDAR and RGB images. The flight was flown at 50% side lap at 70m AGL with a 20 MPEG camera. The area covered ranges from farmland, to densely vegetated woodlands. As suspected, some of the images have not…
  • Surveyed Ground Control measurements and there reuse with a different SRS

    For our ContextCapture projects we have two customers. One customer needs Nad83(2011) NCSP NAVD88 Geoid 18 (xyz units us survey foot), the other customer needs Local Space Rectangular. The difference between the two SRS's is normally a scale factor. Knowing…
  • AT large distance to input

    Hi. I recently updated to U18 and I've been hàving issues with AT. I'm using a drone to map areas and ever since updating many photos end up with wildly wrong positioning. Since I'm using the drone's gps for positioning however, the positioning isn…
  • Engine Failure while Point cloud processing/Production_ Need suggestion and Help

    Hi Bentley communities, We are using Bentley context capture software's for past couple of years, Unfortunately we got some issues recently while processing point cloud in Context capture master. We got continuous error as a Engine failure while processing…
  • MGA2020 in Victoria (AUS) transformation problems

    Hi Bentley Communities, I am reaching out to see if anyone can help with the below problem. Essentially we are having problems transforming our data sets from WGS84 to MGA2020. We are capturing photos with a P4 RTK Drone connected to the CORS network…
  • [ccmasterkernel] How to set only one positioning method for adjustment constraints for AT settings using the SDK?

    I'm having difficulty modifying settings for the AT in the python SDK, more precisely on how to only set positioning with control points to the adjustment constraints. Do you have an example for that? I'm always getting 2 methods instead of only having…
  • Problem with aerial dataset, curved model after AT. Poor accuracy with the final Orthophoto.

    Hi, I use Dji Phantom 4 RTK for mapping surveying. I have problem with aerial dataset, when i import photos of 1400 meters length road and start AT, it becomes curved. I tried this solution https://communities.bentley.com/products/3d_imaging_and_point_cloud_software…
  • Error Error: task failed (returned : -1073741819)

    Hi everyone, Im trying to realize an AT of a block with 910 but I'm getting an error when matching key points, the proccess stalls at 75% and the engine's message is: [2021-Mar-01 10:27:24] Error: task failed (returned : -1073741819). Ther is happening…
  • Aero-triangulation on 10,000 - 20MP images - 3500 images failed! - HELP!

    Hi guys, i am trying to process aero-triangulation on 10,000 (9,251) Drone images of 20 megapixel each . 186 gigapixel. Out of 9251 images, about 3500 have not aligned . About 9 GCPs are used , just to place the model in correct position approximately…
  • Axis measurements in units, possible to assign reference value?

    Let's say I'm modelling an object which has 5 m in length and width and 3 m in height but I don't have any gps data. Is it possible to add these measurements after the model was completed? I don't know any GPS control points in the area and when I run…
  • AT: Issue with the acquisition!!!!

    "Houston, we have a problem" I think the new update broke ContextCapture, because with the old update I had oriented 68 images without any problem, and now with the new update and using the same settings and the same images the software only orients…
  • What size do April Tags need to be?

    I created a project. I went to Tools and saw that April tags need to be at least 35x35 pixels. If I am flying a job with a Phantom 4 RTK at an altitude of 71m AGL that gives me a GSD if 1.95 cm/px If we calculate that out to 35px by 35px that gives us…
  • Aero triangulation

    Hi, Just a quick question and apologies if I have missed this in the forum. Is Context Capture Master able to perform the aero triangulation stage using both portrait and landscape orientated images in the same dataset? When running a job it wants to…
  • Aerotriangulation endless processing loop

    Dear Bentley Community, Usually everything is working fine until the last aerotriangulation... the engine is stuck with one process. The percentage progression starts an endless loop from 66% to 74% and again 66% to 74% and again and again... The…
  • AT treatment with 2 photogroups (ground and aerial)

    Hello, this message follows the problem of AT processing with integration of facade photos. I have integrated Tie Points and control points common to both groups of photos. I have selected the "tie points" and "control points" adjustments I applied "high…

    hello, I encounter a difficulty during the aerotriangulation stage on photos of facades. My competitor on PHOTOSCAN with the same photos manages to have a successful calculation and a coherent global rendering. Here is the link to report the result which…
  • I need help processing thermal images

    I have photos from an XT2 that I can't get to process. There must be some trick to it that I can't figure out. We flew the site at 90% overlap and it looks like there is plenty of overlap but they will not process. Do I need accurate camera/lens properties…
  • Any benefit to processing in phases (adding pictures)?

    Is there any benefit to processing one set of pictures then adding more pictures and processing again? does it keep the original main component and add to it or does it start over completely? I am asking because I am trying to get pictures from an XT2…
