Hi Pix4D. I am having trouble stitching XT2 images. Of the 860 images captured in my flight, they all show correct georeferencing upon importing. However, only 3 are showing up on the flight track before stitching. Pix4D is attempting to only stitch the 3 of 860 images. Can you please help troubleshoot? I am happy to give you access to my dataset. Thanks very much

Hello @natalie.hoffman, could you please share a screenshot showing the issue and the quality report so we can investigate further? If you are new to thermal image processing, I also recommend reviewing the support article below.

You are going to need very high overlap to process thermal images.
