Hi there,
I am trying to experiment with using Ground Control Points for Drone Imagery and test how they influence the Orthomosaic accuracy before and after using GCP by looking at the amount of error in the Adjustment Report.
After setting up my Workspace using the OrthoMapping workflow (type Drone), I use the Adjust function to apply block adjustments so I can add GCP after first Adjustments have been made (the Manage GCP's function is disabled when the block adjustments have not been applied yet).
This is the Log output for the block adjustments...

Something strange is that the log output says there is 0 solution points... Is this normal? I can plot the solution points and open the attributes table and assess the residuals. Also, when I just continue to produce a DSM and Morthomosaic (WITHOUT GCP), it works fine.
When I try to add GCP, from which I only have 3 because it was a small test. I change one to a Check Point, and manually check the tie points for all GCPs. I recompute the tie points to Append them Existing Control Points.
This is where I encounter an error. After recomputing tie points I have to rerun the Adjustments to update the image collections. But I get this error when it starts processing the DEM:

Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?
