Split settings

You must not specify height above sea level. For more information, please refer to Useful concepts.

Target number of photos

Enter the maximum number of photos you want for output blocks.

Height interval

Enter the rough estimate of the scene ellipsoidal height interval.

Output block base size

Enter the base size of output blocks. Actual dimensions of output blocks will be multiple of this base size.

For instance:

Base size: 500

The actual output block size may be: 500, 1000, 1500... depending on the scene contents and other split settings.

Spatial reference system (SRS)

Choose the SRS in which splitting must be performed.

By default, use a Local East-North-Up system with an origin set at the centroid of input block's photo positions.

If a custom SRS is required for a later reconstruction, it is recommended to choose it, so that reconstruction tiles can be made to conform exactly to block boundaries.

Splitting origin

Define the splitting origin in the specified SRS.

A custom origin may be needed to make later reconstruction tiles conform exactly to block boundaries.
