That's good to know. I think something is weird with the texture jpeg. I will run the Hypr3D process again. The Hypr server took more than 5 hours to complete the processing the first time. Before I submit it again I might sort through the photos and maybe lighten or darken some so they match better. I should put the images at Dropbox now that there is more room there. I will let everyone know when they are there.

Dorn, did you get my latest model to display in Meshlab? I tried it for the first time, and the gray model displays but I can't figure out how to make it display the texture map.

I selected 149 of the photos from the regular camera on the dual IR/visible rig balloon flights over Dorn's study plots and submitted them to Hypr3D. It used only 49 of the photos and the model covered fewer than half of the study plots. So I borrowed 40 of the photos from Jeff's higher elevation flight and added them for a total of 189 photos. I downsampled all the photos to 1200 pixels across first. The resulting model used 150 photos and covered an area similar to that of Dorn's first model. The texture mapped over the 3D model seems to include some high and some low resolution images. The modeled topography definitely reflects the relief of the mown paths, and the house and yard trees look pretty cool.

Is it time to try this in 123D Catch?

That was a superb day. Great to meet everyone. Thanks to Dorn for sharing your work and bringing us together. Also for the excellent campsite. I was up in time to photograph the chicken tractor being moved through the fog. Ned and I got home for a late lunch ready for the next FarmHack FlashMob. Thanks to Jeff for supplying the noble gas, and to everyone for the great photos already at dropbox. I just added two. Note the strong evidence therein that shirts photosynthesize more than pants.

It appears that we might have pretty complete coverage of the study plots in NIR and visible, so NDVI here we come.

Next time!
