General / Export points VS export models - vertices number

« on: May 20, 2016, 07:06:54 PM »

Hey, I scanned some photos and created model in PhotoScan, in the bottom left corner of display screen I can see:

faces: 1,210,789 vertices: 612,194

When I export the project as model to wavefront obj, I get exacly the same number of vertices, which of course is OK.

However when I export the project as points to wavefront obj I get:

dense cloud: 56,319,334 vertices
sparse cloud: 160,100 vertices

Can I export the cloud to have exacly the same number of vertices as it is written on the display screen?

PS. If I deleted all material info and faces and leave all vertices alone in the exported model .obj file, would I get correct point cloud?

Python and Java API / Python API run batch file (start process on cluster)

« on: February 16, 2016, 05:08:52 PM »

Hello,

1. Is it possible to run batch file using your Python API? If the answer is yes, then how to do it? Python API documentation doesn't have "cluster", "network" or "batch" words in it.


2. When I select Align Photos from Workflow menu I am asked if I want to schedule processing over network but when I use Python API function "PhotoScan.app.document.chunk.matchPhotos" and "PhotoScan.app.document.chunk.alignCameras" I am not asked about it and the process is started locally. Is it possible to use those API functions to run process over network?

Thanks

Bug Reports / Calculating vertex colors

« on: January 26, 2016, 09:28:32 PM »

Tested both methods: from menu and from python API. This worked in PhotoScan 1.2.1 and 1.2.2 and stopped working in PhotoScan 1.2.3.

Code: [Select]

PhotoScan.app.document.chunk.buildModel(surface=PhotoScan.HeightField,face_count=PhotoScan.MediumFaceCount,source=PhotoScan.DenseCloudData)
Overall progress stops at like 90% and it says "Calculating vertex colors..."
