Bug Reports / Re: Validate if the stage was successfully completed

« on: February 14, 2023, 06:55:41 PM »

Hello Alexey,

Thank you
I will use try statement.
I still wish a return or better validation than try.
Hoping it d come in the future.

Thank you,

Bug Reports / Validate if the stage was successfully completed

« on: February 10, 2023, 12:56:00 AM »

Hello there,

Is there any good way to catch each process done successfully?

I dont see any return values.
also, sometimes [progress] dont show 100 but starts the other stage.
This happens especially on chunk.buildDepthMaps()

Is there any good ways to validate if the stage was successfully completed?

Thank you,

Mincho

chunk = doc.addChunk()

chunk.addPhotos(photos)

chunk.matchPhotos(keypoint_limit = 40000, tiepoint_limit = 10000, generic_preselection = True, reference_preselection = True)

chunk.alignCameras()

chunk.buildDepthMaps(downscale = 2, filter_mode = Metashape.MildFiltering)

chunk.buildModel(source_data = Metashape.DepthMapsData)

chunk.buildUV(page_count = 2, texture_size = 4096)

chunk.buildTexture(texture_size = 4096, ghosting_filter = True)
doc.save()

General / Align cameras per frame

« on: October 31, 2022, 03:35:09 AM »

I have multiple cameras on the stage.
Most of them are still, some  free move, nodal.

Im trying to use the timeline and chunk.frame as the best way.
So the plan is to use still cameras' align at the other frames(with references) and re-align moving cameras per frame.
 

chunk.frame.alignCameras() is what Im looking. However instead of align per frame it solves globally.

other processing stages are able to run per frame as below.

chunk.frame.matchPhotos
chunk.frame.buildDepthMaps
chunk.frame.buildModel
chunk.frame.buildTexture

also, chunk.frame.cameras[0].transform = transform_per_frame not set values per frame but a single value.

its ideal to see chunk.frame.alignCameras work as a bug fix, or new feature,
what would be other alternatives? like dummy cameras from camera_track?


I understand the original workflow designed to create cameras from frames of the actual camera.
in my workflow each cameras are real cameras and instead of vertical setup I want horizontal setup which timeline tool is perfect for it.

Thank you.
