Step 2 : Image Preparation
- Nathan Dunne
Image Preparation
The raw photography must initially be prepared for photogrammetry. It is essential to use the photogrammetry images generated by Marso to ensure consistency with the processing data.
A job with Status NEW requires preparation. To begin the preparation process it must first be queued by selecting the job and clicking Queue.
Once there are jobs in the queue the Start button becomes available
This will begin the preparation process on the first job in the queue.
The controls in the lower right can then be used to Pause a running job, returning it to the front of the queue, or Stop it entirely and return it to the list of available jobs.
If you have multiple scans to process these can be additionally queued up, and they will begin processing once the current has finished.
When a job completes it will drop back into the Available list with the status DO SOLVE.
The Images button will launch Explorer in a folder containing EXR or JPEG images that you should use for your photogrammetry solve.

If the result is FAILED PREP, check the listed log file to see if there is an error you are able to resolve. Contact support with a copy of the log file listed in the details panel if the issue persists.
