<div>Hi all, </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have an airborne dataset collected over forested areas. Looking into Surface/Structure From Motion algorithms I cam across MapTK and would like to give it a shot. We are interested in getting tree heights… </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I couldn’t get access to the forge.mil, so I am working with the public version at the moment. Not sure if there are differences. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I couldn’t find a tutorial on MapTK (I guess Matt is working on it), but reading some of the emails on this list, I think I will have to do:</div>
<ul>
<li>Extract frames from the video (ffmpeg etc.)</li><li>Use the config files under /tools/config as template</li></ul>
<div>This is where it gets fuzzy ;)</div>
<ul>
<li>What is the order/sequence of the MapTK commands?
<ul>
<li>maptk_track_features first etc..</li></ul>
</li><li>How do I enter the camera position (or plane position info?)
<ul>
<li>What format does it need etc?</li></ul>
</li><li>Tools for displaying the point cloud?
<ul>
<li>Or do we get a file that has to be opened with python displayed in Mayavi etc…</li></ul>
</li></ul>
<div>I appreciate any suggestions, assistance ;) Oh and currently I am on MacOS, though can switch to others if there is a preferred environment. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>All the best, </div>
<div>batu. </div>
