Necessary orthophoto files in split merge

ODM
#1

There are 3 orthophotos in the submodels (sometimes 4 for local processing) when running split-merge: odm_orthophoto_cut.tif, odm_orthophoto_feathered.tif, and odm_orthophoto.tif. Reading through stages\splitmerge.py it looks like I can safely clean up odm_orthophoto.tif (as well as odm_orthophoto.original.tif if it exists) to save space while processing, but thought I’d verify here first.

More succinctly, I think I just need to keep odm_orthophoto_cut.tif and odm_orthophoto_feathered.tif

In the documentation, Sorties OpenDroneMap — Documentation OpenDroneMap 2.8.7
odm_orthophoto/odm_orthphoto.tif and odm_orthophoto/odm_orthphoto.original.tif are the only output tif … which is confusing with what you wrote !

These are all intermediate files that get thrown away at the end and aren’t considered a final product. The final orthophoto product for split merge is odm_orthophoto.tif.
