Years of practice and experience have allowed researchers to provide a solid description of the applicability and limitations of this method. That being said, the impact of input processing parameters in software on the quality of photogrammetric products has yet to be fully ascertained empirically. This study is aimed at identifying the most advantageous processing workflow to fill this research gap by testing 375 different setup variations in the Agisoft Metashape software for the same set of images acquired using an unmanned aerial vehicle in a proglacial area. The purpose of the experiment was to determine three workflows: (1) the fastest, which has the shortest calculation time; (2) the best quality, which is as accurate as possible, regardless of the time taken for the calculations; and (3) the optimal, which is a compromise between accuracy and calculation time. Each of the 375 processing setup variations was assessed based on final product accuracy, i.e., orthomosaics and digital elevation models. The three workflows were selected based on calculating the height differences between the digital elevation models and the control points that did not participate in their georeferencing. The analyses of the root mean square errors (RMSE) and standard deviations indicate that excluding some of the optimization parameters during the camera optimization stage results in high RMSE and an increase in the values of standard deviation errors. Furthermore, it was shown that increasing the detail of individual processing steps in software does not always positively affect the accuracy of the resulting models. The experiment resulted in the development of three different workflows in the form of Python scripts for Agisoft Metashape software, which will help users to process image sets efficiently in the context of earth surface dynamics studies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14061312","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,10]],"date-time":"2022-03-10T02:10:35Z","timestamp":1646878235000},"page":"1312","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Evaluation of the Influence of Processing Parameters in Structure-from-Motion Software on the Quality of Digital Elevation Models and Orthomosaics in the Context of Studies on Earth Surface Dynamics"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4822-7568","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Szymon","family":"\u015aled\u017a","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Geographical and Geological Sciences, Adam Mickiewicz University, Krygowskiego 10, 61-680 Pozna\u0144, Poland"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0422-2327","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marek W.","family":"Ewertowski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Geographical and Geological Sciences, Adam Mickiewicz University, Krygowskiego 10, 61-680 Pozna\u0144, Poland"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"15","DOI":"10.1016\/j.geomorph.2004.06.010","article-title":"The application of GIS-based logistic regression for landslide susceptibility mapping in the Kakuda-Yahiko Mountains, Central Japan","volume":"65","author":"Ayalew","year":"2005","journal-title":"Geomorphology"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"107803","DOI":"10.1016\/j.geomorph.2021.107803","article-title":"Dynamic characterization of a slow-moving landslide system\u2014Assessing the challenges of small process scales utilizing multi-temporal TLS data","volume":"389","author":"Stumvoll","year":"2021","journal-title":"Geomorphology"},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1736","DOI":"10.3390\/rs70201736","article-title":"Time Series Analysis of Landslide Dynamics Using an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)","volume":"7","author":"Turner","year":"2015","journal-title":"Remote Sens."},{"key":"ref_4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1205","DOI":"10.5194\/nhess-16-1205-2016","article-title":"A new web-based system to improve the monitoring of snow avalanche hazard in France","volume":"16","author":"Bourova","year":"2016","journal-title":"Nat.
