Hey Alexey,

I believe markers were set already on a bunch of photos from each set. Either way I'll use the script in the batch process! Thanks for your help

Hello RashedAlmet,

Before you start the alignment of chunks, your Reference chunk is only scaled ( mark is indicating that), so it's orientation in space is not defined, only scale does. It means that during the chunk alignment operation the orientation of the chunk selected as a reference one may change.

Hey Alexey,

Thanks for the reply. How would I set the chunk to a fixed position so it doesn't move?

Also why have you crossed out your reply as well?

Regards,

Rashed

Thanks for the reply JMR; not sure why you've crossed out your entire post?

The first chunk has its scale and orientation fixed before I align the chunks together; the problem is that it resets the chunks alignment back to how it was (Check XYZ axis in bottom right corner)

Anyone got any ideas?

Hey Agisoft Forums,

I've been trying to point-align all the my individual chunks (Different expression per chunk) which are a part of a FAC project but they aren't coming out well..

So I've reset the transforms of all the chunks, set my alignment and scale for my first chunk then opened 'Align Chunks' under the 'Workflow' tab.
I've double clicked on my first chunk so it's in bold text and so its the reference. Then selected a few additional chunks to be aligned (to the first chunk hopefully).

Now when the process has run, my first chunks alignment has been reset and only 1 or 2 of the chunks have the same (bad) alignment as the first chunk.

Here Chunk 1 and 2 are aligned together (alignment has been reset though) and now Chunk 3 and 4's alignment is completely off

Any Ideas?

I've also tried Camera Alignment but the actor still isn't perfectly aligned as they have moved somewhat in between shots; am I right in thinking that point alignment should align all the chunks perfectly?

@Jeremiah - Sorry, new to the forum.. should have checked through all the categories first. My bad!

@James - That makes sense. I'll just hand-edit the textures after projecting onto workable topology.

Thanks for the help

General / eyebrows bleeding onto side of eye - Texturing

« on: July 05, 2017, 05:15:54 PM »

Hey,

Having a small issue with the texturing process in Photoscan.

All the scans are projecting a part of the eyebrows onto the side of the eye. Is there anyway to avoid this?

Sorted it DXO was saving out the second batch with a different name.

Everything is nicely aligned now; just slightly out of place (because of the actors head movement I believe)



Thanks for your help Alexey!

Hey alexey,

This is something we have. All 90 cameras are attached to a fixed rig. Would I find information on the camera approach inside the pro manual too?

Hey Alexey,

I've run through camera alignment but I'm getting these errors in the console:
http://i.imgur.com/DmCaa01.png

Is this because Chunk 2 is using 80 Cameras, whereas Chunk01 is using 88?



Setting coordinate information or camera locations is new to me. Is there any tutorials or documents you can recommend to show me how to do this?

My current Point setup:

Hey Alexey and thank you for the quick and detailed reply.


Will the 'Align Chunks' command; align all chunks to the same scale as Chunk01? (So I can set proper scaling using Chunk01 then that get's copied to all the other chunks)


Also how do I properly set alignment inside of PS? Every scan I've done so far has been orientated at a weird angle (see image below)

General / Batch processing - Setting scale and orientation and Reconstruction Regions?

« on: June 30, 2017, 05:05:27 PM »

Hey guys,

I've been testing out batch processing in PS and so far it's been amazing. I just have a few questions on alignment, scale and reconstruction regions.

So first off, my alignment is always incorrect inside of PS, how would I go about fixing this? and how would I automate this with Batch processing?

http://i.imgur.com/eA68HdP.png

In regards to scaling;  I've used Control points on my neutral scan and set the scale bar to 4.0 and hit update, this sets up the correct scale of 4cm between the control points but doesn't PS work in meters? and if so, shouldn't the correct value be 0.04?

Also in regards to scaling, how would I force all the chunks to follow the same scaling as Chunk01(Neutral expression Scan)

Lastly is there anyway to change the reconstruction region in batch processing? Currently it cuts out the ruler on the left hand side which I'd like to keep in for reference.

Any help is much appreciated,

Rashed
