I have a DJI Mavic Enterprise 3 M.  This drone captures multispectral RTK quality images in tiff format.  The natural color rgb images are jpgs.  

When I want to process these images in Sitescan, it can't display them.  It can process them, but you can't view them.  This means that you also can't process them with ground control, since you need to view the image in order to identify ground control points.

This seems to me to be a pretty sizeable issue, and I'm really hoping to see it resolved soon.  I'm lucky that my images are RTK quality, so I can still get decent quality orthomosaics to use in ArcGIS Pro, etc.  But if I could process them with ground control they'd be spot-on like the natural color orthos.

@Matt-Barrett  You can now view and tag multispectral images in Site Scan. There is still a limitation on viewing the multispectral true ortho, we are hoping to add support for that in the future.

Excellent news!  I've been waiting for this!  I eagerly await the ability to view the CIR output ortho in sitescan as well!

Thank you!

Ok.  I re-processed three different multispectral flights from the past to include ground control, however when I click to download the multispectral ortho, there are multiple options, and I'm a little unsure as to what they are.  Are they different compression levels?

Hi @Matt-Barrett each option is a different size and resolution. The first one with (COG) is the original full size True Ortho. Others on the list are downscaled in case a smaller file size suits your downstream needs better.

Ok.  That makes sense, I just wanted to double check.  Thank you!  I like how the bands are named correctly now too.  They're not just "Band 1," "Band 2," etc.

Thanks again!
