General / How to calibrate a UAV camera in Metashape 1.5.1

« on: February 20, 2019, 03:23:09 AM »

Hi all

I know there is a camera calibration utility within the software which used to be in Lens.

I can see the checkerboard pattern and the calibration option, does anyone have a pdf document with a good method / workflow in how to calibrate a camera lens before running jobs through it ?

I am looking for a workflow I can use for all our UAV cameras - also do you tick every option box - as im unsure what the different parameters are such as p1 to p4, etc

General / Lens Calibration in 1.43

« on: July 28, 2018, 04:10:26 AM »

Hi All

As quite a new user, one of the main frustrating things I find is the lack of education material to help with photogrammetry (UAV specifically) in regard to camera calibration.

We have a Phantom 4 Pro, M210 with X4S and Yuneec H520, and although using any of these gives us good results in Pro, I struggle in the technicalities surrounding lens calibration within the software, to call our cameras "calibrated". Various searches of the web point to some articles and peer related stuff which is ideal for people with a great in-depth knowledge. I appreciate this is quite a technical subject, but would welcome any step by step help or protocols for calibration so I can get my head round it.

Thank you
