Add Frame Camera Aerial Imagery to Mosaic Dataset

Question

I am testing the new Frame Camera raster type in 10.3.

I have hundreds of image frames which I would like to add into the mosaic dataset.

I followed the steps in Aerial imagery raster types—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop to add Frame Camera raster type to a mosaic dataset.

I have all the required parameters, except for the affine transformation.

Cameras table:

OBJECTIDCAMERAIDFOCALLENGTHPRINCIPALXPRINCIPALY1[0]35105.3-228.7-173.1

Frames table:

This is the error message.

How can I get the tool to ignore the affine transformation and just use the orientation parameters?

In my case (ArcGIS Pro 3.2), the problem was that the PIXELSIZE attribute was missing in the cameras.csv table.
However, the error message says that there is a problem with the frames.csv table.
The documentation says that this is an optional attribute:

Hi,

I have similar errors when trying to add images to mosaic data set as frame camera:

...
2021-03-26T01:00:57.727: Error: 8004206f: Could not initialize the mosaic dataset's parallel processing engine.
2021-03-26T01:00:57.728: Error: 80040213: Configuration RasterCommander.ImageServer can not be started.
Server Object instance creation failed on machine FUJIBEAR.
 Image Server is not supported with the current license.

2021-03-26T01:00:57.728: Error: 8004204b: Cannot synchronize mosaic dataset items associated with the specified raster type instance. [Name: Frame Camera; Instance ID: 8]
...

I was trying to put 0 (zero) or 100% for parallel processing environments as I saw in ESRI Community and other forums but without any results. When I assigning "100%" - I received the same errors, and if "zero" - I don't receive any errors, it finishing quickly, but a table with footprints is empty.

Thanks,

Andriy
