Hi Guys,
I'm new to this forum so sorry if this has been discussed already - I tried to look at some tutorials but since it's a fairly specific issue some of you might have a solution more fitted to this.
I need to reconstruct an actors facial performance, I'd say around 35-40 minutes of footage split into shots. It's captured by an 8 camera rig, which is fixed, 4 camera pairs about 3 meters from the actor, not sure of the exact focal lenght ( I didn't get any exif data, only png's to make it more fun I guess )
Long story short, I can't change the cameras, I managed to read in the camera clusters, reconstruct the whole thing, but the reconstruction process is really inconsistent - sometimes it'd align all the cameras just fine, but 90% of the time it doesn't find 1-2 of the cameras, so the whole thing doesn't come out as nice as it could, given the circumstances.
The question is, is there any option to select the camera pairs manually (as each pair is close to each other it'd make sense to assign them as basis for the pixel correspondences) , or do a marker setup to assist without having to go through thousands of pictures manually?
Also, when I set the whole thing up as a batch process, it wouldn't process every frame, just one.
Any ideas are much appreciated.
Cheers,
Dan
