Masks
A mask can be associated to a photo to ignore specific parts of the image (e.g., moving obstacles, reflections) to be ignored in the workflow. A valid mask is a black and white TIFF image with the same dimensions as the photo. Pixels of the photo corresponding to black pixels of the mask will be ignored during aerotriangulation and reconstruction.
Mask are associated to input photographs through their file
name:
- Associate a mask to one
photo: for a photo named "fileName.ext", the mask file must be named
"fileName_mask.tif" and placed in the same directory as the corresponding
photo.
Example: for a photograph "IMG0002564.jpg ", the corresponding mask should be " IMG0002564_mask.tif"
- Associate a mask to an entire directory (requires photos of same dimensions): if present in a directory, the file "mask.tif" is used as a mask for all photos contained in this directory.
