Hey all,  
We are trying to create a Thermal 3D Point Cloud of a large holding tank. I have previously flown cross hatched flight plans (ortho) with orbital oblique image captures to try and get the most data I can. I am having no luck with the results. Can any of your make any recommendations? We are using an XT2 640 13mm Sensor.

Thanks!

Hi, Oblique images are tricky for thermal photogrammetry processing. However, if you have enough overlap and a good distance (more) from the object you are imaging, we can try to make it work. Can you send us your quality report (pdf), p4d file, and logfile?
