Hello everyone,

We are pleased to notify you that today beta period is completed and Agisoft Cloud service is officially launched!

For more information about terms of service and available plans, please refer to "Plans & Billing" article.
Good day to everyone!

In today's release we improved email notifications regarding processing and publication errors. Now detailed information about errors is provided.

In case you've faced an error, please refer to "Common cloud processing errors" article in our knowledge base, to find a solution.
Hello!

In today's release we have fixed issues causing 3D Models texture display in a solid black color. In case you've faced this issue, please republish the project.

Dear users,

In today's release we added coordinates pane with scale bar and also changed available visualization modes from Ellipsoid/Terrain to Earth/Model.

Earth view mode allows viewing all kinds of processing results in a surrounding context, the global terrain is turned on by default, and the user can select one of the available base maps.

Model view mode is perfect for viewing 3D models, Tiled Model, Tie Points and Dense Point Clouds in an isolated environment, allowing you to concentrate on details.

If you have projects embedded into web resources please note that Ellipsoid view mode has been changed to Earth view mode, and the Terrain view mode has been changed to Model view mode.
Hello subscribers!

Today we released a few fixes regarding 3D Models publication. Now Inner and Outer boundaries set in Metashape are ignored during the publication so the full sized processing results are being published.
Also previously some 3D Models have been disappearing when zooming in to close or zooming out to far from, currently this bug is fixed.

In case you've faced one of the problems described above on one of your projects in the cloud, please republish those projects.

Best regards,
Agisoft team
Good day, everyone!

Today's release brings synchronization speed and web-viewer performance improvements.

If previously you had issues with web-viewer performance or upload/download speed we would appreciate any feedback regarding how it works for you now. Please share your feedback via support@agisoft.com.

Hello,

In todays release we added feature allowing to visualize aligned project cameras in a 3D scene & inspect project photos at the special user interface section.

Best regards,
Agisoft team

P.S. Please republish your projects to access the new features.
Good day to everyone!

Last week we released a couple of improvements and features to make you user experience with service better. Please find short description of latest releases below:

- Processing execution time now available in email notification of processing completion, so you can better plan your budget.
- Size of published Tie Points, Dense Clouds and Tiled Models decreased by 3 times, which also leaded to significant improvement
in visualization performance.
- Now 3D Models without textures built are being published with normals and look just as in Metashape.

Best regards,
Agisoft team

P.S. Please republish your projects to access the new features.
Hello subscribers!

Today we released a new projects sorting by size option. We hope it will help you to better manage your projects in the cloud.

Dear users,

In todays release we changed the approach to projects sharing - from now project sharing by link do not disables accesses by invitations and vice versa.
We hope it will make collaboration with your customers and teammates more convenient.

Hello subscribers!

Today we released features allowing to access the project's processing reports and log in the cloud.

Processing reports are automatically generated for each chunk after processing in the cloud and can be accessed from the project menu. To download processing report open project menu and click on the Reports button, in the pop-up click on one of available reports to download it. Alternatively if the project is published processing reports can be accessed from the Chunk's Properties panel on the right.

Processing log is automatically generated after processing in the cloud and can be accessed from the project menu. To download processing log open project menu and click on the Log button.

Hello everyone,

In today's release we have added two new features: 3D scene quality setting and measurements tools.

3D scene quality setting allows you to select one of three available modes: best performance, balance between performance and quality, best quality. The setting affects the Tiled Models, Tie Points and Dense Clouds.

Measurement tools are built in annotation tools and allow to perform measurements on the fly when creating and editing Points, Polyline and Polygons.

- Point :
- Coordinates
- Polyline :
- 2D Length
- 3D Length
- Elevation deference
- Slope
- Polygon :
- 2D Perimeter
- 3D Perimeter
- 2D Area
- Area

For detailed tutorials on how to use measurements tools please refer to our knowledge base.

Dear users,

A couple of new features, improvements and bug fixes has been released today:

- Each geometry drawn now can be annotated with user defined properties. Export in .geojson format allows you to work with annotations created in the cloud in GIS applications.
- Vector layers and geometries can now be edited right in the Workspace pane on the left, by double clicking on the object's name.
- Each icon in a project viewer now has a tooltip, so it is easy to get used to the user interface.
- A bug causing new geometries creation in new layers when changing the drawing tool has been fixed.

Hello everyone,

Today we released an Inspection tool, which brings the functionality of filtering the project's photos by the point in a 3D scene.

The simple access to source photos covering the specific object of interest allows one to better find defects and deformation on the complex engineering structures.

Detailed instructions on how to work with the tool can be found in our knowledge base.

Dear users,

We are happy to inform you that today we released a new tool called Presentation. With this tool it is available to create virtual tours around your projects.

Presentation consists of slides, each slide is a point in 3D scene with optional name and description and specific point of view that the camera will fly to when the slide is selected.

When the Presentation is created and configured properly it is available to make it accessible to everyone who has an access to the project by turning on Show always mode.

Detailed tutorials on how to work with Presentation tool can be found in our Knowledge Base.
Feel free to leave any feedback on our Forum, or via the Support portal.

Dear users,

Today we prepared a handful of tips on how to save budget and time while processing large photo sets on the cloud.

1. Go step by step instead of running a batch.

In projects with oblique photos there may be a lot of Tie Points and points of the Dense Cloud outside of the zone of your interest, so the region for the next processing step may be bigger than needed. Bigger region leads to more time required to perform the processing operation.

The best practice is to run alignment procedure, get the results, adjust region and optionally some other settings for the next processing operation and then start a Build Dense Cloud operation.

When Dense Cloud is built and before going further, you may adjust the region again to avoid further processing of unneeded areas.

2. Use preselection on alignment stage.

The alignment process of large photo sets can take a long time. A significant portion of this time period is spent on matching of detected features across the photos. Image pair preselection option may speed up this process due to selection of a subset of image pairs to be matched.

3. Split large portions of photos into chunks.

We highly recommend not to process more than 50 000 of photos in one chunk, because it leads to exponential growth of time needed to complete the alignment procedure. The recommended workflow of processing a project with more than 50 000 photos is to divide the project into chunks, process separately and merge them after alignment completion.

The same approach is also applicable to the smaller amount of photos, less photos in one chunk requires less time to align.

4. Do not calculate point colors if the point cloud is not of interest.

In case the desired processing result is not a point cloud, but for example DEM & Orthomosaic, Mesh or Tiled Model, uncheck the calculate point colors option in Build Dense Cloud operation advanced settings in case the points color is not of interest. This will save up processing time.

5. Use Depth Maps as source.

When building DEM, Mesh or Tiled Model use Depth maps as a source, this will also save up processing time.

All tips are available in our knowledge base for your convenience.
