Optimize images
Image optimization is an optional operation performed for each capture session. It refers to the following:
Retiling, pyramid creation, and statistics computation of images
Extraction of tie point candidates
Image optimization is recommended to accelerate subsequent processing steps such as alignments and reconstructions, and for optimal rendering performance.
To optimize capture session images, complete the following steps:
In the Project Tree pane, select the capture session.
The Capture Session tab appears.
Click the Capture Session tab, and click Optimize Images
.Alternatively, in the Project Tree pane, right-click the capture session, and click Optimize Images
.The Image Optimization dialog box appears showing the number of images that can be optimized.
Under Workspace, click Browse
and browse to and choose the workspace where the optimized images will be stored.Note:
You can either specify a path to an existing workspace or choose an empty folder. Reality Studio will automatically create the required folder structure. If you plan to distribute image optimization in a processing cluster, ensure that the workspace as well as all input data is available from the network.
Click OK.
Click Submit.
Note:
Alternatively, click the Submit drop-down arrow, and click Submit and Start Contribution to submit the image optimization to the workspace and start contributing.
The Workspace Monitor appears.
In the Workspace Monitor, click Start Contribution.
Learn more about monitoring a workspace and contributing to a workspace.
The ArcGIS Reality Studio Node terminal window appears, showing the background process. This terminal must remain open while the processing is ongoing.
Once the job is finished, in the Project Tree pane, click Apply changes next to the capture session name.
The optimized images results will be used as input for the subsequent processing steps.
