Processing templates

Recommended configuration presets for core processing algorithms. Each table lists parameter values exposed by the corresponding template objects in the SDK (including private attributes whose names start with _). Nested settings are flattened with dots (for example image_pair_settings.match_all).

Values are taken from Settings.TEMPLATES.<name>.to_dict() (and mesh.SCALABLE_MESH_TEMPLATES.<name>.to_dict() for scalable mesh). Floating-point values are shown rounded for readability.

For guidance on when to use each template, see Photogrammetric Processing Algorithms. For which template a use case starts from, see Starter settings. API attribute descriptions remain under API Reference.

Scalable 3D mesh

SCALABLE_MESH_TEMPLATES

The templates differ by preset. Other exposed fields are currently identical. The preset value selects internal mesh-generation behaviour that is not further expanded in to_dict().
