Automated cleaning of tie point clouds following USGS guidelines in Agisoft Metashape professional (ver. 2.1.0).

ABSTRACT: The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has published a guideline to improve the quality of digital photogrammetric reconstructions created with the widely used Agisoft Metashape Professional software. The suggested workflows aim at filtering out low-quality tie points from the tie point cloud to optimize the camera model. However, the optimization procedure relies on an iteratively performed trial-and-error approach. If manually performed, the time expenditure required from the operator can be significant and the optimization process can be affected by the degree of diligence that is applied. To minimize the time expenditure and attentiveness required from the operator and to provide a framework for an improved reproducibility of camera model optimization workflows, we present here a python scr
