Ryan, Because of the inaccuracies of GPS systems on drones, and how this data is collected relative to the ellipsoid, this is actually very common.  The workflow to assure your meshes are at the correct (Orthometric) elevation, you will need to add ground control points around your project area and reprocess. Thanks Tony ... View more

Dario, As I suspected the camera database is not picking up that modifications have been made to the camera. The bands are showing up as "Red", "Green", and "Blue".  Unfortunately there is nothing that can be done in the current release to change this. We are however exposing additional functionality in the next release that will allow you to select the bands to be used in the NDVI processing.  Thanks Tony ... View more

Dario,   In order for the NDVI output to become active we need to be able to match your camera with a model in the database. I’m guessing this is not happening because it’s a custom camera.   Is it possible for you to share some of your imagery with us? This is something we would like to fix in the upcoming release, and having some of your sample data would be very helpful.   Thanks Tony ... View more

This is typically caused by poor image quality (blurry or lack of texture) or insufficient overlap between the images. If you are able to share the images, I am happy to have a look and help figure out what is happening. Thanks Tony ... View more

Don, Could you try disabling your graphics card and running Drone2Map again? Thanks Tony ... View more

Drone2Map is compatible with drones that collect geotagged images. As long as your drone has GPS data associated with the image, you can use it in Drone2Map. Thanks Tony ... View more

You can also reduce the number of CPUs Drone2Map uses. Go into the Processing Options > Resources and slide the CPU Threads slider to the left to reduce the number of CPUs being used. Thanks Tony ... View more

Could you try to uninstall and reinstall Drone2Map 1.0.1 and see if this fixes your issues on the laptop? Thanks Tony ... View more

Krista, Could you try to whitelist the following ArcGIS domains: •http://*.arcgis.com <http://%2A.arcgis.com/> •https://*.arcgis.com <https://%2A.arcgis.com/> •http://*.arcgisonline.com <http://%2A.arcgisonline.com/> •https://*.arcgisonline.com <https://%2A.arcgisonline.com/> •http://*.esri.com <http://%2A.esri.com/> •https://*.esri.com <https://%2A.esri.com/> Thanks Tony ...

ArcGIS Pro can consume the SPK after it has been published as a hosted scene layer. You will need to publish the SPK in ArcGIS Online, then bring that service into ArcGIS Pro.  Drone2Map allows you to do this in the Share as Scene Layer tool. Additionally you can upload the SPK manually using the ArcGIS Online web interface.   Thanks, Tony Mason Product Manager - Drone2Map ... View more

John, If you have very high oblique images that include a lot of horizon / sky it is going to be difficult to build a 3D mesh successfully. As Ruwan mentioned above, little to no sky is best. Drone2Map will allow you to process both NADIR and Obliques together, and users are reporting an increase in quality of their final products by doing this approach.

Ruwan, Drone2Map will detect if your imagery has the necessary bands to create an NDVI image, and allow you to check the NDVI box. It sounds like in this case it is not picking up your NIR band correctly. Would you be able to share a sample of this imagery so we can have a look at what is going on?

Thanks for taking the time to work with me on this Oddbjørn! We identified the issue is related to the Region settings applied in windows. For others getting this error, please change your Region format to English (United States) and it should resolve this issue. We will fix this in the next release.

John, When using oblique data to create 3D products, Drone2Map will attempt to create a mesh from all features it can see in the image....including sky. It is recommended to use the clip area feature before you start processing. Draw a shape around the feature (using the imagery basemap as a reference) that you are interested in creating a mesh. This will limit the area for which the mesh is created, allowing for a more precise and detailed mesh. Thanks, Tony Mason Product Manager - Drone2Map ... View more

John, Currently the Textured Mesh being created as a scene layer package in Drone2Map is a single level of detail (lod) mesh. Because of this, there is a delay in the first draw of the mesh in AGOL, and after the first draw it is very responsive. Try to wait and see if it draws. If it is not drawing within 30 seconds then there may be an issue with the elevation values of the mesh and it might actually be beneath the surface of the globe. If this is the case, you will need to add ground control points (GCPs) to your project and process again. In future releases we will support multi lod meshes to make this experience a better one. Please let me know if this helps and if we can be of further assistance. Thanks, Tony Mason Product Manager - Drone2Map ... View more
