Hi,

Can someone suggest what might have caused this behaviour shown in the attached images? Initial camera positions (blue) are fine, but some calibrated cameras (green) have grouped together in a ball.

I am redoing the initial processing to see if I can repeat the behaviour. I have flown this exact same spot previously and generated orthophotos without this problem, so it should not be related to photo/camera content.

I’ve tried the **Internal Parameter Optimization to AllPrior** options suggested in other posts, but even worse results were obtained.

Inuk, We would need your p4d file and quality report to help troubleshoot. Thanks!
