.. _arguments: Options and Flags ----------------- Arguments:: -h, --help show this help message and exit --images , -i Path to input images --project-path Path to the project folder --resize-to resizes images by the largest side for opensfm. Set to -1 to disable. Default: 2048 --end-with , -e Can be one of:dataset | split | merge | opensfm | mve | odm_filterpoints | odm_meshing | mvs_texturing | odm_georeferencing | odm_dem | odm_orthophoto --rerun , -r Can be one of:dataset | split | merge | opensfm | mve | odm_filterpoints | odm_meshing | mvs_texturing | odm_georeferencing | odm_dem | odm_orthophoto --rerun-all force rerun of all tasks --rerun-from Can be one of:dataset | split | merge | opensfm | mve | odm_filterpoints | odm_meshing | mvs_texturing | odm_georeferencing | odm_dem | odm_orthophoto --proj Projection used to transform the model into geographic coordinates --min-num-features Minimum number of features to extract per image. More features leads to better results but slower execution. Default: 8000 --matcher-neighbors Number of nearest images to pre-match based on GPS exif data. Set to 0 to skip pre-matching. Neighbors works together with Distance parameter, set both to 0 to not use pre-matching. OpenSFM uses both parameters at the same time, Bundler uses only one which has value, prefering the Neighbors parameter. Default: 8 --matcher-distance Distance threshold in meters to find pre-matching images based on GPS exif data. Set both matcher- neighbors and this to 0 to skip pre-matching. Default: 0 --use-fixed-camera-params Turn off camera parameter optimization during bundler Off by default unless --camera parameter used --camera-lens Can be one of auto | perspective | brown | fisheye | spherical Set a camera projection type. Manually setting a value can help improve geometric undistortion. By default the application tries to determine a lens type from the images metadata. Default: auto --max-concurrency The maximum number of processes to use in various processes. Peak memory requirement is ~1GB per thread and 2 megapixel image resolution. Default: number of cores --depthmap-resolution Controls the density of the point cloud by setting the resolution of the depthmap images. Higher values take longer to compute and more memory but produce denser point clouds. Default: 640 --opensfm-depthmap-min-consistent-views Minimum number of views that should reconstruct a point for it to be valid. Use lower values if your images have less overlap. Lower values result in denser point clouds but with more noise. Only applies if using OpenSfM for dense matching. Default: 3 --opensfm-depthmap-method Raw depthmap computation algorithm. PATCH_MATCH and PATCH_MATCH_SAMPLE are faster, but might miss some valid points. BRUTE_FORCE takes longer but produces denser reconstructions. Default: PATCH_MATCH --opensfm-depthmap-min-patch-sd When using PATCH_MATCH or PATCH_MATCH_SAMPLE, controls the standard deviation threshold to include patches. Patches with lower standard deviation are ignored. Default: 1 --use-hybrid-bundle-adjustment Run local bundle adjustment for every image added to the reconstruction and a global adjustment every 100 images. Speeds up reconstruction for very large datasets. --mve-confidence Discard points that have less than a certain confidence threshold. This only affects dense reconstructions performed with MVE. Higher values discard more points. Default: 0.6 --use-3dmesh Use a full 3D mesh to compute the orthophoto instead of a 2.5D mesh. This option is a bit faster and provides similar results in planar areas. --skip-3dmodel Skip generation of a full 3D model. This can save time if you only need 2D results such as orthophotos and DEMs. --use-opensfm-dense Use opensfm to compute dense point cloud alternatively --ignore-gsd Ignore Ground Sampling Distance (GSD). GSD caps the maximum resolution of image outputs and resizes images when necessary, resulting in faster processing and lower memory usage. Since GSD is an estimate, sometimes ignoring it can result in slightly better image output quality. --mesh-size The maximum vertex count of the output mesh. Default: 100000 --mesh-octree-depth Oct-tree depth used in the mesh reconstruction, increase to get more vertices, recommended values are 8-12. Default: 9 --mesh-samples = 1.0> Number of points per octree node, recommended and Default: 1.0 --mesh-point-weight This floating point value specifies the importance that interpolation of the point samples is given in the formulation of the screened Poisson equation. The results of the original (unscreened) Poisson Reconstruction can be obtained by setting this value to 0. Default: 4 --fast-orthophoto Skips dense reconstruction and 3D model generation. It generates an orthophoto directly from the sparse reconstruction. If you just need an orthophoto and do not need a full 3D model, turn on this option. Experimental. --crop Automatically crop image outputs by creating a smooth buffer around the dataset boundaries, shrinked by N meters. Use 0 to disable cropping. Default: 3 --pc-classify Classify the point cloud outputs using a Simple Morphological Filter. You can control the behavior of this option by tweaking the --dem-* parameters. Default: False --pc-csv Export the georeferenced point cloud in CSV format. Default: False --pc-las Export the georeferenced point cloud in LAS format. Default: False --pc-filter Filters the point cloud by removing points that deviate more than N standard deviations from the local mean. Set to 0 to disable filtering. Default: 2.5 --smrf-scalar Simple Morphological Filter elevation scalar parameter. Default: 1.25 --smrf-slope Simple Morphological Filter slope parameter (rise over run). Default: 0.15 --smrf-threshold Simple Morphological Filter elevation threshold parameter (meters). Default: 0.5 --smrf-window Simple Morphological Filter window radius parameter (meters). Default: 18.0 --texturing-data-term Data term: [area, gmi]. Default: gmi --texturing-nadir-weight Affects orthophotos only. Higher values result in sharper corners, but can affect color distribution and blurriness. Use lower values for planar areas and higher values for urban areas. The default value works well for most scenarios. Default: 16 --texturing-outlier-removal-type Type of photometric outlier removal method: [none, gauss_damping, gauss_clamping]. Default: gauss_clamping --texturing-skip-visibility-test Skip geometric visibility test. Default: False --texturing-skip-global-seam-leveling Skip global seam leveling. Useful for IR data. Default: False --texturing-skip-local-seam-leveling Skip local seam blending. Default: False --texturing-skip-hole-filling Skip filling of holes in the mesh. Default: False --texturing-keep-unseen-faces Keep faces in the mesh that are not seen in any camera. Default: False --texturing-tone-mapping Turn on gamma tone mapping or none for no tone mapping. Choices are 'gamma' or 'none'. Default: none --gcp path to the file containing the ground control points used for georeferencing. Default: None. The file needs to be on the following line format: easting northing height pixelrow pixelcol imagename --use-exif Use this tag if you have a gcp_list.txt but want to use the exif geotags instead --dtm Use this tag to build a DTM (Digital Terrain Model, ground only) using a simple morphological filter. Check the --dem* and --smrf* parameters for finer tuning. --dsm Use this tag to build a DSM (Digital Surface Model, ground + objects) using a progressive morphological filter. Check the --dem* parameters for finer tuning. --dem-gapfill-steps Number of steps used to fill areas with gaps. Set to 0 to disable gap filling. Starting with a radius equal to the output resolution, N different DEMs are generated with progressively bigger radius using the inverse distance weighted (IDW) algorithm and merged together. Remaining gaps are then merged using nearest neighbor interpolation. Default: 3 --dem-resolution DSM/DTM resolution in cm / pixel. Default: 5 --dem-decimation Decimate the points before generating the DEM. 1 is no decimation (full quality). 100 decimates ~99% of the points. Useful for speeding up generation. Default: 1 --dem-euclidean-map Computes an euclidean raster map for each DEM. The map reports the distance from each cell to the nearest NODATA value (before any hole filling takes place). This can be useful to isolate the areas that have been filled. Default: False --orthophoto-resolution 0.0> Orthophoto resolution in cm / pixel. Default: 5 --orthophoto-no-tiled Set this parameter if you want a stripped geoTIFF. Default: False --orthophoto-compression Set the compression to use. Note that this could break gdal_translate if you don't know what you are doing. Options: JPEG, LZW, PACKBITS, DEFLATE, LZMA, NONE. Default: DEFLATE --orthophoto-bigtiff {YES,NO,IF_NEEDED,IF_SAFER} Control whether the created orthophoto is a BigTIFF or classic TIFF. BigTIFF is a variant for files larger than 4GiB of data. Options are YES, NO, IF_NEEDED, IF_SAFER. See GDAL specs: https://www.gdal.org/frmt_gtiff.html for more info. Default: IF_SAFER --orthophoto-cutline Generates a polygon around the cropping area that cuts the orthophoto around the edges of features. This polygon can be useful for stitching seamless mosaics with multiple overlapping orthophotos. Default: False --build-overviews Build orthophoto overviews using gdaladdo. --verbose, -v Print additional messages to the console Default: False --time Generates a benchmark file with runtime info Default: False --version Displays version number and exits. --split Average number of images per submodel. When splitting a large dataset into smaller submodels, images are grouped into clusters. This value regulates the number of images that each cluster should have on average. --split-overlap Radius of the overlap between submodels. After grouping images into clusters, images that are closer than this radius to a cluster are added to the cluster. This is done to ensure that neighboring submodels overlap. --sm-cluster URL to a ClusterODM instance for distributing a split-merge workflow on multiple nodes in parallel. Default: None --merge Choose what to merge in the merge step in a split dataset. By default all available outputs are merged. Default: all `Help edit these docs! `_
