FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I process images from cameras that are not MAPIR brand with Chloros?

No, Chloros only supports processing MAPIR camera images. Please see the list of supported camera models for more information. We do offer processing of other cameras on MAPIR Cloud, see full list here.

Can I calibrate my images for reflectance without a calibration target?

No. Without an image of the calibration target captured around when the non target images are captured you will not be able to relate the image's pixel values to a known reflectance percent. If you also do not include the log from a MAPIR light sensor then the ambient light spectrum will not be measured, and the reflectance results will not be accurate.

Can I edit my images prior to processing in Chloros?

No. Chloros assumes the input data has not been modified. Do not change the file names.

Can I set my MAPIR Survey3 cameras to auto exposure and process the images in Chloros?

No. Survey3 image datasets must have a fixed/locked exposure, so no auto shutter speed or auto ISO. All images of the same camera model must have identical shutter speed and ISO (exposure).

Can Chloros process or analyze orthomosaic images?

No. Only individual MAPIR camera images are supported, not stitched images like an orthomosaic map.

How can I speed up the target detection step of Chloros?

In the file browser table pre-selecting the target images in the right column will tell Chloros to only look in those images for calibration targets, greatly speeding up the processing.

If I will upload my images to MAPIR Cloud should I process in Chloros prior to uploading?

If you plan to upload to our online processing platform MAPIR Cloud do not edit the images prior to uploading. Cloud will perform all the same processing and more.

Will MAPIR ever support X feature? I really wish MAPIR offered X.
