We are doing surveys of areas using drones. Images are taken directly from above with a very large overlap, which is required to create 3D models and point clouds. This works perfectly in software like Pix4D and DroneDeploy. As an alternative, we are trying to use FME to mosaic the images together, but cannot even get two images to be properly stitched together. As this should be a very simple task, I assume we are missing something very basic. I have tried to go through other tutorials/posted questions regarding this issue, but could not find anything that helped.
The test workflow reads two JPG images (there are actually thousands of images, but we are testing with two adjacent images) and sends this to the Raster Mosaicker. The only way that I got the two images to be mosaicked was to set the "Overlapping Values" to Average or Sum, but the end result is an image that looks a bit like a water mark (colour faded) with certain parts of the two images duplicated at the wrong spots.
I have also tried to use the RasterBlendMosaicker, but no luck with this either.
Is there perhaps any obvious thing that I am missing here? Attached is the workflow and the two test images. Any help is highly appreciated.
