General / Issue when scaling model with camera relative postions
« on: December 04, 2017, 01:46:11 PM »
Hello Guys,
I am confused with poor result in scaling 3D models.
Instead of taking reference measurements on the model, which is not very precise on human body, or marker on the ground, I wanted to use the camera relative distance.
On my rig this distance is fixed and larger than any feature that can be reconstructed so I expected to have more precise scaling than using object feature.
So I scanned a wood chunk 8x8cm large with a camera distance of around 2 meters from each other.
The result is very disapointing. The resulting model is about 8.5% larger than reality.
Even with unprecised measurement of the camera positions, I expected only few %
My questions are:
What does the camera position represent in photoscan: focal point, sensor center, ... ?
Did any of you used this method with success ?
Any tip welcome
