Solar panels processing

Hello everybody

I am currently working on a solar panel mapping project and processing the dataset using Pix4Dmatic. However, I am facing some critical issues with the quality of the outputs and would highly appreciate your expertise.

​Specifically, I am experiencing the following problems:

  • Surface Duplication: The generated surface appears duplicated or ghosted in some areas.

  • Severe Distortion: There is noticeable distortion across a large portion of the reconstructed model, especially over the solar arrays.

  • Elevation Mismatches: I am noticing significant vertical errors and inconsistencies in ground elevation levels.

​I have checked my overlap, and it seems sufficient, but the reflective nature of the solar panels and the repetitive patterns might be causing these artifacts during image matching.

​Has anyone encountered this specific issue when processing solar farms in Pix4Dmatic? What are the best processing options, calibration settings, or workflows to fix this?

​Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi @daniel.navarrete

Could you please open a ticket through Pixie? We will discuss there.

Once we find the source of the issue, I will post it here to let other users know about the solution.
