General / Is it useful to provide Camera positions and elevations?
« on: April 04, 2025, 09:36:38 AM »
Hi,
I have a collection of images from 3 stationary camera stations all looking at a same target with good overlap. The target is a terrain feature. Unfortunately, cameras are not calibrated and does not have any kind of in-built location information. With the help of GNSS, I have obtained the Northing & Easting as well as the elevation of the camera stations. I also collected some GCPs on the target terrain feature but these are not visible in the image collections. I wish to know, if I import this reference (Northing, Easting and Elevation of Camera stations) (after image alignment), will it help in rendering better 3-D model and point cloud. If yes, then what is the exact procedure after the reference import? Just click on 'Optimise camera'?
Thank you for any help.
