GM_PixelsToPoints
Runs a pixels-to-points operation that creates point cloud, orthoimage, and/or mesh data from pictures captured using a drone or UAV. The setup object provides a list/folder of drone images with EXIF position data embedded, and those are analyzed using SFM (Structure From Motion) to determine a point cloud.
If new cloud, orthoimage, and/or mesh layers are created, their handles will be stored in the aSetup structure. It becomes the caller's responsibility to call GM_CloseLayer on these when the process finishes.
