Aligning the photos to create an inital stereo model and sparse point cloud is the first step in Metashape. In this lab, we explore the different options for aligning photos and how to optimize the sparse point cloud.
Raw lidar data collected from Yellowscan sensors must be processed through CloudStation to produce high-accuracy point clouds and elevation models.
The University of Idaho’s Drone Lab was awarded a USDA NIFA Equipment Grant for $110,000 to fund the purchase of a drone-carried lidar system to be used for research and teaching in the fields of agriculture and natural resources at UI and with partners.
