Face and Body Scanning / Re: A method to download photos from multi-camera rig

If it is reliable enough, shooting directly to the PC is a better solution assuming that the download software is not expensive.

Face and Body Scanning / Re: A method to download photos from multi-camera rig

There are 128 Canon T3i in my rig. The cameras are installed with SD card and connected to USB hubs. The USB hubs should not be plugged into PC when capturing photos. After one batch or several batches of photos are captured, you can plug the USB hub cables to your PC to download photos.
I use Windows 7 for photo download. There are some parameters of your PC need to be setup in the very beginning. You can find how to setup them by download the CAMERA CONTROL BOX user’s manual in http://corbel3d.com/multicamera/.
All the photos can be downloaded into one folder you created automatically. In order to use these photos in PhotoScan, you need to organize them.
Welcome to discuss further to make this solution better.

Face and Body Scanning / A method to download photos from multi-camera rig

« on: February 04, 2015, 12:39:04 AM »

Hello,
I have been dealing with multi camera rig for couple of years and found it’s not so easy to download photos from a big number of cameras reliably even with a professional software. Last year I built a rig with 128 sets of Canon T3i downloading photos with this method. It has been proved to be not only reliable but also very easy to operate. The method is base on Windows Explorer in Windows 7 OP. Should anybody be interested in it, I am glad to share with you.

Python and Java API / Re: shift vector function in exportModel

Thank you Alexey.

I tried to input a parameter, however it says the object is not callable as below:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Python33/test.py", line 6, in <module>
    PhotoScan.Application.viewpoint(coo=[0,0,0])
TypeError: 'getset_descriptor' object is not callable

Maybe I input in a wrong format?

Code: [Select]

[import PhotoScan
new_chunk = PhotoScan.app.document.activeChunk
filename="C:/3D PHOTO MANAGER/zx2.pdf"
Format="pdf"
PhotoScan.Application.viewpoint(coo=[0,0,0])
new_chunk.exportModel(filename, binary=True, precision=6, texture_format="jpg", texture=True, normals=True,colors=True, cameras=True, format=Format)]

Thank you for your prompy reply, Alexey.

Then how can I input a parameter to change the viewpoint? The code below seems can not change the viwepoint.

Code: [Select]

[import PhotoScan
new_chunk = PhotoScan.app.document.activeChunk
filename="C:/zx1.pdf"
Format="pdf"
PhotoScan.Application.viewpoint
new_chunk.exportModel(filename, binary=True, precision=6, texture_format="jpg", texture=True, normals=True,colors=True, cameras=True, format=Format)

Python and Java API / shift vector function in exportModel

« on: August 24, 2014, 01:30:11 AM »

Dear Sir,

I want to export a pdf file with a fixed model position.

I found the model position in the exported pdf file does not change with different shift vector values, for exemple [0,0,0] and [1000,1000,1000].
What's the reason?

Thank you for your advise.

Code: [Select]

[new_chunk = PhotoScan.app.document.activeChunk
filename="C:/3D/zx2.pdf"
Format="pdf"
new_chunk.exportModel(filename, binary=True, precision=6, texture_format="jpg", texture=True, normals=True,colors=True, cameras=True, format=Format, shift=[0,0,0])]

Python and Java API / Re: Resizing the region

« on: June 27, 2014, 06:08:02 PM »

Thank you Alexey. Then could you provide me a complete code to resize region which could be inserted in my script after photo alignment? It's hard for me to make such a code myself.

I appreciate your help.

Hi Alexey,

The problem is still there with your revised code.

I run my whole_body_scanning_script and encounted the region problem shown in the attached pic. The scaned model lost legs. I need a script to resize the region and want to know in which step should I run the resize_region_script, after align photos or in the very beginning?

Thank you for your help.

Hello Alexey,

I run a script with a copy of your code after aligning photos. There was an error message shown in the attached pic. Could you advise?

Currently I have a hard time with region resizing and hope to fix it.

Thank you.
