Build Stereo Model

Builds a stereo model of a mosaic dataset based on a user-provided stereo pair.

A stereo model of a mosaic dataset is required for stereo feature collection and 3D point cloud generation. A stereo model, as one of the tables within a mosaic dataset, defines the stereo pairs. The stereo model stores the overlapping polygons, the corresponding image identifiers, and image IDs that comprise each pair. The stereo model can be accessed from the context menu of a mosaic dataset.

1.    Input Mosaic Dataset

The mosaic dataset on which to build the stereo model.

Running Apply Block Adjustment on the input mosaic dataset first will help create a more accurate stereo model.

2.    Minimum Intersection Angle (in degree) (optional)

The value, in degrees, that defines the minimum angle the stereo pair must meet. The default is 10.

3.    Maximum Intersection Angle (in degree) (optional)

The value, in degrees, that defines the maximum angle the stereo pair must meet. The default is 70.

4.    Minimum Area Overlap (optional)

The percentage of the overlapping area over the whole image. The default is 0.5.

5.    Maximum Omega/Phi Difference (in degree) (optional)

The maximum threshold for the Omega/Phi difference between the two image pairs. The Omega values and Phi values for the image pairs are compared. If the difference between either the two Omega or the two Phi values is above the threshold, the pairs will not be formatted as a stereo pair.

6.    Maximum GSD Difference (optional)

The threshold for the maximum ground sample distance (GSD) between two images in a pair. If the resolution ratio between the two images is greater than the threshold value, the pairs will not be built as a stereo pair. The default is 2.

7.    Group by (optional)

Builds the stereo model from raster items within the same group, defined by a mosaic dataset field such as RGB, Panchromatic, or Infrared.

Compute Block Adjustment

Compute Block Adjustment

Path to access the tool

:

Compute Block Adjustment Tool, Ortho Mapping Toolset, Raster Box, Data Management Tools Toolbox

 

Compute Block Adjustment

This tool is used to compute the adjustments to the mosaic dataset. This tool will create a solution table that can be used to apply the actual adjustments.

1.    Input Mosaic Dataset

The input mosaic dataset that will be adjusted.

2.    Input Control Points

The control point table that includes tie points and ground control points.

You can use the output from the Compute Tie Points tool or a refined control point table edited by the Block Adjustment Window.

3.    Transformation Type

The type of transformation that will be used when adjusting the mosaic dataset.

1. POLYORDER0—A zero-order polynomial is used in the block adjustment computation. This is commonly used when your data is in flat area.
2. POLYORDER1—A first-order polynomial (affine) is used in the block adjustment computation. This is the default.
3. RPC—The Rational Polynomial Coefficients will be used for the transformation. This is used for satellite imagery that contains RPC information within the metadata. This option requires the ArcGIS Desktop Advanced license.
4. Frame—The Frame camera model will be used for the transformation. This is used for aerial imagery that contains the frame camera information within the metadata. This option requires the ArcGIS Desktop Advanced license.

4.    Output Solution Table

The output solution table containing the adjustments.

5.    Output Solution Point Table (optional)

The output solution points table. This will be saved as a polygon feature class. This output can be quite large.

6.    Output Adjustment Quality Table (optional)

An output table used to store adjustment quality information.

This parameter is only valid if RPC was specified as the Transformation Method.

7.    Maximum Residual (optional)

A threshold that is used in block adjustment computation; points with residuals exceeding the threshold will not be used. This parameter applies when the transformation type is POLYORDER0, POLYORDER1, or Frame. If the transformation is RPC, the proper threshold for eliminating invalid points will be automatically determined.

When the transformation is POLYORDER0 or POLYORDER1 the units for this parameter will be in map units, and the default value will be 2.

When the transformation is Frame the units for this parameter will be in pixels, and the default value will be 5.

8.    Image Location Accuracy (optional)

Specifies the geometric accuracy level of the images.

This parameter is only valid if RPC was specified as the Transformation Method.

HIGH—Accuracy is under 30 meters.

MEDIUM—Accuracy is between 31 meters and 100 meters. This is the default.

LOW—Accuracy is higher than 100 meters.

If low accuracy is specified, the control points will first be improved by an initial triangulation; then it will be used in the block adjustment calculation. The medium and high accuracy does not require any additional estimation processing.

9.    Adjustment Options (optional)

Additional options that can fine-tune the adjustment computation. To set, type the keyword and the corresponding value in the list box.

1. MinResidual—The minimum residual value, which is the lower threshold value. When polynomial transformation is either POLYORDER0 or POLYORDER1, the units will be in map units and the default minimum residual will be 0. The minimum residual value and the maximum residual parameter are used in detecting and removing points that generate large errors from the block adjustment computation.
2. MaxResidualFactor—The maximum residual factor is a factor used to generate maximum (upper threshold) residual. If the Maximum Residual parameter is not defined, it will use the MaxResidualFactor * RMS to calculate the upper threshold value.The minimum residual value and the maximum residual parameter are used in detecting and removing points that generate large errors from block adjustment computation.

Compute Camera Model

Estimates the exterior camera model and interior camera model from the EXIF header of the raw image and refines the camera models.

This is especially helpful for UAV and UAS images, where the exterior and interior camera models are coarse or undefined.

· Unchecked—Use all images. This is the default.

· Checked—Remove images that are too far away from the flight strip.

Input Tie Point Table (optional)

The tie point table used to compute the camera model. If a tie point table is not specified, the tool will compute its own tie points and estimate the camera model.

Additional Options (optional)

Additional options for the adjustment engine. These options are only for use by third-party adjustment engines.

Maximum Area Overlap (optional)

The percentage of overlap between two images needed to consider them duplicates.

For example, if the value is 0.9, it means if an image is 90 percent covered by another image, it will be considered a duplicate and removed.

Minimum Control Point Coverage (optional)

A percentage indicating the control point's coverage on an image. If the coverage is below the minimum percentage, the image will be unresolved and removed. The default is 0.2, which is 20 percent.

· Unchecked—Use all images. This is the default.

· Checked—Remove images that are too far away from the flight strip.

Output Flight Path (optional)

The optional flight path line feature class.
