Title: Edit Camera.center coords
Post by: IvanShubin on June 14, 2013, 01:14:10 PM

Help me. How to set the coordinates for a camera. I tried а script:

         for cam in doc.activeChunk.cameras:
            if cam.label == (geo_date[0]+".JPG"):
               vec = PhotoScan.Vector()
               vec.x = float(geo_date[1])
               vec.y = float(geo_date[2])
               vec.z = float(geo_date[3])   
               cam.center = vec

A consol showed me a error:
      
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/dev/photoscan/load_photo.py", line 35, in <module>
    cam.center = vec      
AttributeError: attribute 'center' of 'PhotoScan.Camera' objects is not writable

Hello Ivan,

Do you need to input geographic coordinates for camera positions according to flight log?

For this task you should use chunk.ground_control.locations. The modified code should be something like the following:

Code: [Select]

for cam in doc.activeChunk.ground_control.locations.items():
    if cam[0].label == (geo_date[0]+".JPG"):
            cam[1].coord = ( float(geo_date[1]),  float(geo_date[2]),  float(geo_date[3]))

I would like to replace source coordinates with the estimated coordinates (after optimization) and replace source z values with 0.

My attempt to do this is below but not sure how to call estimated coordinates instead of the source coordinates (cam.coord[0] and cam.coord[1]):

for cam in doc.activeChunk.ground_control.locations.items():
        cam[1].coord = (cam[1].coord[0],cam[1].coord[1],0)

cheers,

Javier

Hello Javier,

Estimated coordinates are not accessible easily, but you can recalculate them from camera coordinate system:

Code: [Select]

chunk = PhotoScan.app.document.activeChunk
camera = chunk.cameras[0]

vc = camera.center
vc.size = 4
vc.w = 1

vt = chunk.transform * vc
vt = chunk.projection.project(vt)
So in the vt vector you'll have estimated coordinates.

Hello. How to transform coordinates from the geocentric coordinates system to the chunk coordinates system?

Hello Ivan,

You should use chunk.crs.project(...) function to transform geocentric coordinates to chunk coordinate system (real-world).

In case you need to access internal chunk coordinates then you should use product of chunk.transform.inv() matrix and vector in geocentric coordinates (extended to four dimensions).

Hello,

What is the code for PS 1.1 to extract the estimated camera location?

vt = chunk.transform * vc         doesn't seem to work!

Thank you

Hello Sebastien,

Please try the following one:

Code: [Select]

v_est = chunk.crs.project(chunk.transform.matrix.mulp(camera.center))

I tried
v_est = chunk.crs.project(chunk.transform.matrix.mulp(camera.center))

It does not work. May be because I don't have crs, I am working on local coodinates.

Then you can omit chunk.crs.project function.

Great! Thank you!
