- Automatically organize photogroups by device serial numbers when importing photos.
- Added an option to organize photogroups by acquisition date, useful for detecting multiple flights in a dataset.
- Support position shifts in 3D view quality metrics and in the quality report.
- Regrouped detectors parameters and labels in a unique JSON file called "detector.json".
Improved
- Upload Speed: Increased upload speed for point clouds, large scans and large photos.
- Export Mapping Resource: Improved support for multiple photogroups (no longer limited to 9), allowing for more complex datasets.
- Mesh texturation and Orthophoto creation: more homogeneous coloring in areas with shadows, better color equalization.
- Improved compatibility of photographs acquired using viDoc device.
Fixed:
- Point Cloud Trajectories: Now supports UTF-16 encoding, resolving compatibility issues with certain datasets.
- Basemap Generation: Fixed an issue where basemaps is not generated from local TIFF files.
- Basemap Generation: Bingmaps basemaps are generated with bad height when changing the option "height reference"
- Fixed: photo selection is lost when switching from 3DView to the Survey Tab
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
iTwin Capture Modeler 2024.1.5
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Added
- New Feature: Orthophoto - Added temperature map generation from R-JPEG images for thermal data analysis.
- Enhancement: Orthophoto Transparency - Produces RGBA orthophotos with no-data areas embedded in the alpha channel for improved visualization & new output format. Available for Tiff output format only.
Improved
- AT Pose Policy: "Adjust" is now the default pose policy when images have accurate initial position/rotation data
- Authentication: Authentication for Bentley cloud services is now handled directly through the CONNECTION Client at Application startup
- Terminology Update: "Share" terminology changed to "Upload," with a new upload icon for clarity
- ContextScene files now use version 6 format to be aligned with new format used by Manage & Extract and Reality Analysis Service
- Blocks can now be exported as ContextScene in any SRS to increase usability of AT results
Fixed
- Export OPC: Resolved cases where OPC files were being exported as empty
- iTwin Ready Production: Fixed production failures in Touchup workflows
- SDK Documentation: Corrected the documentation for the `importSurveyData` method
- Localization: Fixed localization issues in Bing Maps UI dialogs.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Added
- New Feature: Added Microsoft Bing Maps as a basemap service.
- Enhancement: Added GroupID for uploaded iTwin Ready output in Reality Management for better organization and tracking.
- SDK Enhancement: Added "removeUserTiePoint" and "clear" functions to the "UserTiePoints" structure.
- SDK Enhancement: Added "Extend" estimation policy mode.
Improved
- Functionality Change: 3D view and survey report now use 3D horizontal and vertical error to color control points for improved visualization.
Fixed
- Bug Fix: Fixed focus loss of photo list when editing photo metadata to improve user experience.
Removed
- Removed Feature: Removed deprecated Bentley Geocoordination service.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
