Description of the source tiling structure

Last updated: April 09, 2021

The structure of the level-of-detail tree is controlled by the extent of the input tiles and by the –lodType and --nodeSize parameters.

The --nodeSize parameter controls the size of nodes. For a default value of 1, the leaf nodes cover about 400 pixels of ground resolution, and every level-of-detail node covers about 400 times the resolution of the node.

The depth of the level-of-detail tree is not uniform. It is adaptive to the resolution of the input tiles.

The output SRS and origin must be specified and can be chosen independently of the settings of the ContextCapture project.

The fill color setting is similar to the "Color of untextured regions" setting of a reconstruction in ContextCapture Master.
