Como corrijo a elevação dos meus mapas 3D do drone2map?

Question

<\/HEAD>Como corrijo a elevação dos meus mapas 3D do drone2map? Eu tenho alguns conjuntos de imagens que não possuem pontos de controle no solo. Os mapas 3D acabam sendo empurrados para cima ou para baixo dependendo da minha localização de decolagem. Eu encontrei a configuração "Image Altitude" em "Flight Data", mas após alterar "Adjust Using", "Constant Elevation", "Takeoff Elevation" em 2 metros, isso apenas altera a altitude dos pontos e não parece mudar o nível do mapa. Preciso reprocessar o projeto ou mudar algo nessas configurações para que essa alteração tenha efeito? <\/P><\/BODY><\/HTML>

Sorry I did let this question bleed a bit. My main problem at this point is just to get a 3D mesh DTM to look right on the Esri base map. Could I use the road as a control point so that it matched with the base map? I know it hasn't changed.

Comparing two 3D maps was a related though and yes, I have before and after flight using the same mission. So the maps look similar but the elevation near the water, and the foot of the dune, changed a bit. It's not important to me at this point to make a measurement.

thanks, this helps understand the context - however I'm concerned about trying to advise you with an ad-hoc workaround that may ultimately lead to bad results.

If you're trying to measure volumes of sand on a beach, accurate data products in (x,y,z) will be critical - and my advice is "this is impossible without high quality GPS for ground control".  Further, you said "sand loss" which implies you have a "before" dataset - either from a prior drone flight or perhaps lidar?  I don't believe you can hope to compare two datasets without high accuracy control points, and ideally use the same control for "before" and "after" or if the earlier dataset is lidar, perhaps you can use that for control (although I'm thinking it would only be usable along the road where you have hard structures, and if your control is limited to one side of a project, the other side can still drift up/down leading to measurement errors).

Do you have a professional surveyor you can include in the project for advice?

For the most part I'm working with a 3D mesh and 3D DTM but in some of my projects, I would like to do measurements of sand loss so I may need to use one of the other options.

So in most cases, I don't think I need precise Z alignment. It would be nice if there was a way to determine the elevation of the base map in a given location. Then I could use that elevation as my offset/control point. I take off from the street so that's easy to pick out of the map. right now I'm just going off the trial and error strategy but it's not a reasonable method. I wish I had the ability to implement control points but I didn't for all of my projects so far. Apparently, I also don't know how to share the 3D DTM but here is what I could share: https://volusiacountyfl.maps.arcgis.com/home/webmap/viewer.html?webmap=62418d8d0e954968bdade8230f3c1ad8
