Hi Markus, Florian, and others,

Thanks for your replies. I still did not solve this, so I am grateful for any 
hint.

Now, I extracted the relevant data (XY-location containing the mapset 
(“reconyx”) with the image group (containing i.ortho.photo files), and camera 
file as well as the target location (“ETRS_32N”) with the “target” mapset 
containing the DEM (“dem_1m”) and two of my attempts for orthorectification 
(with and without INIT file active).  You can fetch the zip-file with the GRASS 
DB (22 MB) within the next 30 days from:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/swri19zn5m9gb7w/AACADlkqGZKO_JMS_YbLNXBXa?dl=0
There you will also find the original image (“IMG_0015.jpg”) as it comes from 
the camera.

As a next step I will take another test image with a more orthophoto-like 
perspective and no visible sky. I hope, that way I can check whether the issue 
is due to the chosen camera position / angle or the way I defined the exposure 
in the INIT file…

I have a strong feeling that my problems - in one or the other way - have to do 
with camera angles…

Unfortunately, it does not seem to be possible to specify only the exposure 
parameters one is sure about. i.photo.rectify uses either all or nothing to 
initialize the orthorectification algorithm…

Cheers
Stefan

Dear Stefan,

Can you provide some example photos in a Dropbox (e.g.) folder?

Best regards,
Florian

I have no idea... in general the algorithm is very robust but was
really written for aerial photos.

They should be fine.

About 10 years have passed that I tried the last time, memory is fading...

Did you figure it out?

To my knowledge they are intentionally hidden in order to be run from
the i.ortho.photo main menu (in GRASS GIS 6).
