1.6.4 DJI Phantom 4 RTK incorrect camera parameter

[space111]

When load DJI Phantom 4 RTK (FC6310R) image into metashape 1.6.4, the following camera parameters are incorrect :   F, P1, P2

For example :

when open an image through "notepad", camera parameter can be found
   drone-dji:DewarpData=" 2019-08-17;3682.980000000000,3676.280000000000,-9.900000000000,-2.550000000000,-0.263183000000,0.113290000000,0.001035960000,-0.000173821000,-0.041476400000"

The format of these parameters is as follows:
Calibrate_date;fx,fy,cx,cy,k1,k2,p1,p2,k3

"f" should be  (fx+fy)/2 , in current version, f value is incorrect
P1 P2 was correct in version 1.6.2,  however,these  values are reversed in 1.6.4

Thank you.

Hello space111,

Can you please provide any sample image, so that we could check the meta information and the calibration data loading process?

Hello space111,

The order of P1 and P2 coefficients is different in the camera model used by DJI (https://docs.opencv.org/3.0-beta/doc/py_tutorials/py_calib3d/py_calibration/py_calibration.html) and by Metashape (https://www.agisoft.com/pdf/metashape-pro_1_6_en.pdf, see Appendix C), therefore the latest release fixes this inconsistency.

As for the focal length, in some older versions Fx has been used to calculate B1 parameter as Fx - Fy, whereas F was equal to Fy. However, based on our experience with different DJI sets, the value of B1 calculated in such way was too large (compared to autocalibrated values) and we decided to switch off B1 (Fx) extraction from the meta-information for DJI cameras.
