Agisoft Metashape Bounding Box Helper Tool
The Bounding Box Helper written by Connor Jenkins in support of Selena Johnson's diver-based Structure-from-Motion processing workflow for precise application of bounding box dimensions between related chunks in Agisoft Metashape for extraction of identical data areas. The Bounding Box Helper is designed for two primary uses: to facilitate precise manipulation of bounding box dimensions, and to broadcast bounding boxes of equivalent dimensions between chunks in an Agisoft Metashape project. The purpose of the Metashape bounding box is to constrain the data area when generating data products, e.g. to remove edge effects or areas of low-quality/noisy data.
A "chunk" in this context refers to the Metashape organizational category containing data products and the images used to generate them. Each chunk is listed in the Metashape Workspace view, and can be expanded and its contents inspected from there. The "current"/"active" chunk is bolded in the Workspace.
The bounding box can be manipulated manually with the Move / Resize / Rotate Region tools in the Metashape GUI, but this method does not provide for precise manipulation. The Bounding Box Helper can be used to resize the bounding box with the exact desired dimensions.
