mavic pro and image sharpness

Map Pilot generally does not honor camera settings that are made in DJI Go. It sets the camera up to give you best chance for processing success. In general we don't like settings that add unknown processing to images. If you want to "add sharpness" to your images you can do it in post processing. Unknown and uncontrolled processes can adversely affect the processing outcome. The best thing to do would be to adjust the map after the data has been processed. 

We are advocating doing a JPG version of RAW data collection that doesn't add a bunch of junk to the images. 

Zane, 

Raw is rarely an option, it reduces drastically the frame rate and almost doubles flight time for large mapping projects. 

Also, adding sharpness in post processing for JPGs is not an option either. Mavic Pro JPG standard sharpness setting applies a strong noise filter, so the damage is already done and information is lost. 

The only real solution is to expose filter settings in your app or respect settings previously applied in DJI´s app. 

Also, buy not letting us change DJI's or your default camera settings you are doing just that: adding unknown and uncontrollable processes which adversely affect my outcome.

Map Pilot also added a way to manually set the white balance because the default is not reliable for every situation. The same applies for filter settings and other defaults.

Please give us a way to fix the overagressive noise filter. Thanks.

The + values stretch the available edge contrast. The - values compress the available edge contrast. The 0 value does nothing to affect pixel assignment. 

Our settings are in fact doing the "nothing" you seek which allows you to do the pixel futzing after the fact. 

Yes, the JPG compression causes some information to be lost but any value other than 0 causes more data loss, not less. 

Maybe we are way wrong and our 20+ years of image processing are not serving us well here. If you want to supply multiple sets of examples of imagery taken under various settings to make you case, feel free to do so. If it is as obviously better to be able to adjust it as you say we will make the change.
