Final Output Resolution

Anthony (AP3 Photography)

What is the best way to maximize the output resolution of an Ortho from an M3E? I am capturing in 4:3 ratio, manual focus set to infinity, dewarping is off, capturing in jpg. While the final image is prefectly in focus, I am finding that I lose some resolution when zooming into items on the ground. Its seems that I had better clarity flying the mission at 225 feet as opposed to the 150 foot client requested level. Any suggestions? Thanks!

in previous note @pierotofy said to do set-resolution to lower value... I need to try this out too

click on 'edit' button next to the drop down menu

you'll get a pop out and look for the following under 'Orthophoto' dropdown you'll get the following 'orthophoto-resolution (float > 0.0)

Thanks. I am trying it now with some different numnerical settings. I presume a h igher number is a higher resolution? I stand corrected. It got much worse with a higher number.

Looks like the best you will get is a value of 1. Which is "ok". Although I do remember having better quality resolution.

The resolution is the effective GSD so lower value = higher resolution. You could set it to something like 0.0001 so that it will use the maximum resolution (lowest GSD) it can calculate from the inputs.

Thanks for the heads up. I didnt know we could enter a fractional number. I'll give it a go and report back.

So the output, while it increase the size of the image, the resoluotion when zooming in remains the same. Pixelated withour clarity.
