Hi @RyanWilkie_apca , Regarding the thread issue I would reach out to technical support to see if they can confirm if there is a bug there. I am curious about what you said here, "the project defaults to a random CS". For the project coordinate system projects will default to the closest UTM zone based off your imagery's location, are you seeing something different? If so, are you defining specific image and project coordinate systems on the new project page? Thanks, Mark ... View more

Hi @MiltonSolano , Absolutely, a tutorial about capturing densely vegetated ideas is a great idea! I would love to see your imagery and offer what help I can to try and improve the results. Please feel free to reach out to me at mbarker@esri.com so we can setup a file share and discuss further. Regards, Mark ... View more

Hi @CameronSilburn , Are you able to share an example of this behavior? A screenshot of the areas you are mentioning.  Regards, Mark ... View more

Hi @JoshBerna, I have yet to see the coordinate system window appear as you have shown. My guess is something might be wrong with the installation. You mentioned trying different monitors, but have you tried to reinstall Drone2Map?  Especially if this is occurring regardless of dataset or project then I would start there. If you continue to see the issue then please reach out to technical support and they can help provide some more advanced  troubleshooting. https://support.esri.com/en-us/contact Regards, Mark ...

Hi @AdamBeef, We do not currently have a python SDK for Drone2Map, nor is it planned. However, it is a great idea and  enough popular support could justify the development time for it. I would encourage you to post about it on the ideas forum for Drone2Map to gauge interest from the community. https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-drone2map-ideas/idb-p/arcgis-drone2map-ideas Regards, Mark ...

Hi @SarahReny, For issues with not seeing the software download files on My Esri I would reach out to whomever your account manager or customer service representative is on the Esri side. This should be displayed when you first log into My Esri on your organization page.  If you are not the admin of the My Esri org account you may not have permissions to see the downloads. If that is the case then you should be able to send a request for these permissions to your current My Esri account admin.  If you do need to reach out to customer service I believe they just need your account number and for you to be an authorized caller. https://www.esri.com/en-us/contact#c=us&t=3 Regards, Mark ...

Hi @RAMON_VERANO,  Thank you for sharing the processing reports. It looks like you used a lot of GCPs created from the map and many of them are displaying high projection error. Have you processed the imagery without GCPs and still had issues mosaicking the results together? I am happy to take a look at the projects you shared above in your screenshots if are able to share them. Feel free to email me and I can setup a shared folder to help review the results further. mbarker@esri.com Regards, Mark   ... View more

Hi @RAMON_VERANO, Are you able to share the processing report as well? This would be found in the project folder (Report> PDF) That might help provide some extra insight as to what might be going on. Was this a single or multiple flights? Regards, Mark ... View more

Hi @JoshBerna, You are correct, we had a typo in the calculation and it will be fixed in the next documentation release with 2024.2. Thank you for bringing that to our attention. The example should read: Difference: ABS(62.74m - 49.25m) = 13.49m 10% of 62.74m = 6.274m 13.49m > 6.274m so the image is flagged. What you are seeing is a warning, not an error. So you could continue to process, but your vertical accuracy may be affected and products may not appear at the correct altitude when displayed on a basemap. We implemented this warning because many drone models have difficulty with obtaining accurate altitude readings. Drone2Map will query 100 random images from your flight and run the above calculation to determine if the image altitudes should be adjusted. If you have 100 or less images then all the images will be evaluated.  As to why you are receiving the warning with one particular flight, you may want to examine the metadata and make sure the RTK accuracy flags are returning similar readings to the other flights. RTK flights don't always guarantee accuracy so it would be good to check to make sure the signal was reliable. Did this particular flight have a significant difference in altitude compared to the others? Regards, Mark ... View more

Hi @FranciscoCáceresClavero,  We don't have any testing data for that specific camera model, but it sounds like it is processing for you and possibly also doing the thermal temperature calculation. In cases where a drone is not supported for thermal processing yet in Drone2Map the true ortho result will only be the pixel values. We are able to add support for new thermal cameras though so if you are willing to share the data I can take a look to see what might be going on with the processing. Please feel free to email me so we can setup a shared folder: mbarker@esri.com Regards, Mark ... View more

@MichaelKrochta1 @BerhanuMekonen1  Please go ahead and reach out to Technical Support. https://support.esri.com/en-us/contact Without further troubleshooting it will be hard to resolve the cause of the crashing. They will be able to run through some of the more common causes and hopefully get the problems resolved. If not, then they will contact us on the development side and we will review the behavior further.  Thank you, Mark ... View more

@JonasTrenz I have not encountered that error before, but the messaging seems pretty specific. I would first recommend looking for the image with the OID it is mentioning and removing it, then trying processing again.  If that doesn't work or you cant find the image then reaching out to technical support would be your next best option.  https://support.esri.com/en-us/contact   ...

@BrentDoty @JonasTrenz There are two different camera models for the Mavic 3 Multispectral sensor, one for RGB and the other for Multispectral. In Drone2Map we have you select the type of product you want to create when first importing the imagery in the new project page. You will receive a pop-up (see below) that offers options based off the capabilities of the camera. This determines what camera model is used and the settings for the project.  @JonasTrenz In ArcGIS Pro the same concept applies but you need to manually change the camera model if you would like RGB or a Multispectral output. The camera models determine certain processing parameters as well as the band order. ... View more

Hi @BrentDoty, The M3T camera didn't get fully added to the digital cameras file we use to populate the camera information. We have fixed it in our patch coming this next month, but for now you can try to edit the file yourself to get it recognized. Just keep in mind this is a try at your own risk, so I would recommend creating the backup of the file. Steps would be as follows: Make a backup copy of DigitalCameras.dat (C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Drone2Map\bin\DigitalCameras.dat) Copy the DigitalCameras.dat to another directory Open it with a text editor Find the M3M RGB camera  Add the entry below that camera and make sure it looks like the screenshot Save the changes Copy the edited DigitalCameras.dat into C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Drone2Map\bin Let me know if you are still having trouble if you attempt the above steps and we can discuss it further over a call or through email.
