Python and Java API / SimpleHTTPServer
« on: December 05, 2015, 07:14:29 PM »
I would like to create an instance of SimpleHTTPServer running inside of the Photoscan app context. This would allow me to accomplish what most folks here who frequently ask about launching startup scripts are actually trying to achieve, which is a request/response architecture.

However, I'm not getting far:

>>> import SimpleHTTPServer
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named 'SimpleHTTPServer'


I'm not really a Python dev; it's likely something I'm missing. Anyone have any ideas?

General / how is the camera origin computed?

When investigating the XML export of the camera data, it's not clear how the origin is calculated.

Is it based on a single arbitrary camera? Is it random?

Honestly, you could be right or wrong - but there's no documentation and I cannot find anything resembling an official comment.

General / What does Optimize Cameras actually do?
« on: April 02, 2015, 12:52:10 AM »
Hi all,

I am reconstructing models of humans captured from a 60-camera cylindrical rig.

Registration seems successful - all of the cameras appear to be hovering and pointing where I expect them to be.

What confuses me is the existence of the Optimize Cameras command; optimization is a good thing, so it must be good, right? :)

Seriously, it doesn't appear to make significant changes to the placement of the cameras. And if optimization of cameras is a good thing, why doesn't it happen by default?

I actually did RTFM and the explanation was a bit opaque to people who don't intuitively know what it might do doing.

Could anyone take a crack at a simple explanation?

If I compared the camera exports of optimized and non-optimized cameras, how would they be different?
