The argument 'pairs' in chunk.matchPhotos is lost (version 1.6.2)

[kot]

Is this a bug or Metashape detects pairs in matchPhotos arguments by himself? I am using Python API.

Hello kot,

Can you please provide more information describing the situation with the pairs argument?

It is an optional argument. If you define it, Metashape will try to match only specified pairs.

Hello kot,

It is an optional argument. If you define it, Metashape will try to match only specified pairs.

I am getting "ValueError: Invalid argument value: pairs" when try to add pairs to matchPhotos. But yes, I was wrong and this error associated with value. What am I doing wrong?

Example:

Code: [Select]

pairs_keys = [(chunk.cameras[i-1].key, chunk.cameras[i].key) for i in range(1, len(chunk.cameras), 2)]

chunk.matchPhotos(pairs=pairs_keys)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ValueError                                Traceback (most recent call last)

----> 1 chunk.matchPhotos(pairs=pairs_keys)

ValueError: Invalid argument value: pairs

Hello kot,

OK, thank you for additional information.

It seems that it really got broken, but we'll fix it in the next version update. Meanwhile you can use Tasks concept:

Code: [Select]

task = Metashape.Tasks.MatchPhotos()
task.pairs = pairs_keys
task.apply(chunk)
