[Warning]: Load ortho: skip image \<DSC02692\_geotag\_430-550-650.jpg\>: image is not calibrated

We are trying to stitch images of a lake that are taken from a multispectral camera on Pix4DMapper. Some of the images are being skipped in the process.

Looking for help on how to resolve this and successfully calibrate the images

Hello @tushar, This is just a warning message which shouldn’t cause any issue on your project. Are you seeing any issue on your output?

@Kapil_Khanal I am getting the same warnings and it is causing missing data splotches in the tiff output.

Hello @josh.evers, The warning is because the software was not able to calibrate the camera. It may be due to low overlap in that area or the absence of key points in that area. I would suggest either manually calibrating those areas if you think the overlap and quality of the images are good in those areas. Or try manually calibrating the camera as explained below.
