Bandmath filter disparities cannot run in qgis

How can I fix this process?

Dear @rapeeya,

I don’t understand your question. Can you be more precise? What error do you encounter? What command did you run? How did you install OTB? Are you using Windows, Mac or Linux?

I see you are using the CookBook for the version 6.2.0 of OTB. It was released more than 4 years ago. I strongly recommend switching to more recent version. Last version is OTB 7.4.

Sincerely.

You can check the ‘Log Messages Panel’ in QGIS main window to find more information about the execution of the algorithm.

The BandMath application takes an image list as input. And each image can have multiple band. When the expression contains the variable imXbY, it refers to the Yth band of the Xth image of the input list. In your case, “im1b3” refers to the 3rd band of the first image. If this image has less than 3 band, the application returns this error. Can you check the number of band of your input image ? If it has only one band, you can use “im1b1”.

Sincerely.

thankyou so much your advice it work! :slight_smile:

Can i ask you another question please. In the last process (DisparityMapToElevationMap) of stereoscopic reconstruction there was an error.



The error message says that the two image don’t overlap. In order to generate a DEM, the two input images need to represent a common area. Can you check if this is the case?
