Hello,

where to find PhotoScan.py?

as I understand with my little knowledge about python, has to be somewhere,

because the tutorial begins with

import PhotoScan

I've found a map in photoscan-pro/python/lib/python3.2 with a lot of *.py files; but no file has the name PhotoScan.py

Hello Jan,

PhotoScan is a built-in module in PhotoScan.

Hello Alexey,

but I don't know how to access it.

If I open a python console, by typing python in a terminal in Ubuntu Linux; and type 'import Photoscan' (without quotes)

I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named PhotoScan

Do I have to open the python console in a specific folder, or what else could I do wrong?

I use the latest PhotoScan version 0.8.4.1289,

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

regards

Hello Jan,

Currently PhotoScan Python module is only accessible from PhotoScan GUI.

Does anybody know if it is possible to access the GUI of photoscan on a remote linux machine, from a windows machine with xming and x11-forwarding enabled putty.

I always run into this error:
xlib: extension "NV-GLX" missing on display "localhost:11.0"

google didn't help much. Maybe this is just not possible with photoscan?

Is there anyhow a way to use photoscan remotely from a to z:

1) uploading pictures as photoscan input to the remote machine (of course no problem)
2) starting and running photoscan remotely (all steps)
3) downloading photoscan output (e.g. orthophoto)

?

kind regards,
Jan

Hello Jan,

Ah! I am in the same position as Jan - I would like to run photoscan on a big compute box from a remote machine so invoking the whole process from a command-line script is very desirable!

I take it, that this means I need to open the photoscan GUI over the network in order to make it go?

Thanks
