Référence verticale dans Drone 2 Map

RyanRoot

<\/HEAD>

J'utilise actuellement Drone 2 Map pour produire des cartes 3D en utilisant un drone DJI qui enregistre en WGS84, mes GCP sont également collectés en WGS84.  Lorsque je traite la mission et l'applique avec le fond World Elevation, les altitudes présentent une différence d'environ 120 pieds.  Il semble que World Elevation applique l'altitude locale du géoïde et non celle de WGS84.  Y a-t-il un moyen de corriger cela ?<\/P>

You're correct that the world elevation is orthometric (geoid based), not elllipsoidal.  If you used control referenced to WGS 84 (ellipsoidal height), that will align your 3D products with the vertical height of the ellipsoid.  See help here Manage control—Drone2Map for ArcGIS Help | Documentation and also Vertical reference—Drone2Map for ArcGIS Help | Documentation

Yes you can change this - there are many approaches depending on your end goals.

1) if you're publishing 3D products in ArcGIS Online or Enterprise and then viewing 3D web scenes, you can apply a vertical offset in the web viewer.  (You'd have to determine the right value to use - apparently something near 120 feet).

2) if you are using the 3D Products in ArcGIS Pro, you can set the ground height to reference ellipsoidal height

3) if you want your 3D products to be referenced to orthometric height (to automatically align with the ArcGIS world terrain), you'd need to re-run the 3D processing - we don't currently have a method to edit the Z values in 3D point clouds and meshes.  To do this, you'd need to adjust the Z values in your GCPs to reference orthometric height before processing.  

If that doesn't help, let us know where (what software) you're using the 3D products

It sounds like you already understand orthometric vs. ellipsoidal heights, but this reference may be helpful
