Python and Java API / Re: Externally Run Agisoft PhotoScan with Python

« on: June 16, 2017, 06:19:55 PM »

Thanks,

by running:

import subprocess
subprocess.run("C:\Program Files\Agisoft\PhotoScan Pro\photoscan.exe)

It opens PhotoScan but will not run my other python files automatically when I use:

subprocess.run("C:\Program Files\Agisoft\PhotoScan Pro\photoscan.exe <filename.filetype>")

However, using tools, run script I can manually run that same file. I read somewhere that the document class is blocked on code that occurs when agisoft is opening, so I am wondering if there is a workaround to this (ie. code beneath the subprocess function that opens photoscan that will then call the other python files I want to import photos, run the batch process, and export the model / or some command prompt input that lets me get around this issue).

Thanks again!

Sincerely,

Python and Java API / Externally Run Agisoft PhotoScan with Python

« on: June 13, 2017, 08:47:56 PM »

Hi, I've read a few posts about doing this but haven't been able to figure it out.

I can open agisoft externally no problem importing os and can essentially run the python scripts I want by clicking on the tools menu, the run script button, and then manually selecting the path I need to run the code I want; however, I would like to be able to simply tell a python program to first open agisoft, click the tools menu, click run script, and insert the path to my other scripts. In other words I would like to make it be fully automated

I was thinking that the command line might be a way to do this (or some type of macro), but was wondering if there is a simpler solution (ie. some function that clicks menu items that has already been made without having to import PhotoScan)

Thanks for the help!

Python and Java API / Re: exporting models and point clouds using python (or a help function)

« on: June 13, 2017, 08:35:40 PM »

Thanks Alexey,

I am using Agisoft PhotoScan version 1.2.6, and found the api for 1_3_0, the code that I got working is:

import PhotoScan
doc = PhotoScan.app.document
chunk = doc.chunk
chunk.exportModel(r"C:\mypath", binary=False, precision=6, texture_format='tif', normals=False, colors=False, cameras=True, udim =False, strip_extensions=False, format='ply', projection=PhotoScan.CoordinateSystem("EPSG::3742"))

Thanks again!

Python and Java API / exporting models and point clouds using python (or a help function)

« on: June 07, 2017, 07:02:04 PM »

I am running code from http://www.agisoft.com/pdf/photoscan_python_api_1_1_0.pdf which is the pdf explaining the PhotoScan class that is read by the 'run 'script' button in agisoft. However, while some of the functions seem to work while attempting to automate exporting I have ran into a few problems:

I have tried using:

import PhotoScan

doc = PhotoScan.app.document
chunk = doc.chunk

as well as:

import PhotoScan

# Below are what is needed for the main processing steps on a project

doc = PhotoScan.app.document
chunk = doc.chunk
chunk.matchPhotos(accuracy=PhotoScan.MediumAccuracy, preselection=PhotoScan.GenericPreselection)
chunk.alignCameras()
chunk.optimizeCameras(fit_f=True, fit_cxcy=True, fit_aspect=True, fit_skew=True, fit_k1k2k3=True, fit_p1p2=True, fit_k4=False)
chunk.buildDenseCloud(quality=PhotoScan.MediumQuality)
chunk.buildModel(surface=PhotoScan.Arbitrary, interpolation=PhotoScan.EnabledInterpolation)
chunk.buildUV(mapping=PhotoScan.GenericMapping)
chunk.buildTexture(blending=PhotoScan.MosaicBlending, size=4096)

followed by:

# chunk.exportModel(r"C:\Users\(rest of path I want...)", binary=False, precision=6, texture_format='tif', normals=False, colors=False, cameras=True['']['ply']['NAD83(HARN) / UTM zone 12N (EPSG::3742)'][0,0,0])

# error that string indices must be intergers (this error shows up in other locations as well)
PhotoScan.PointCloud.export(r"C:\Users\(rest of path I want...)", format='ply'['EPSG::3742'])

# comes back as unscriptable 'bool'=False
chunk.exportPoints(r'C:\Users\(rest of path I want...)', binary=False, precision=6, normals=True, colors=False ['']['']['ply']['NAD83(HARN) / UTM zone 12N (EPSG::3742)'][0,0,0])

Unless there is some easy fix, I was thinking that access to a help function or running the python without opening agisoft and using the run script button would help.

Thanks for the Help!
