Scaling using stereo cameras

[ahg95]

I'm trying to figure out a way to scale models using the distance between stereo cameras. These cameras would be spaced 1 meter apart and each pair of photographs would be labeled as right1.jpeg and left1.jpeg sequentially. I had found a script written for something similar on the forum here https://www.agisoft.com/forum/index.php?topic=9016.0 but it seems to be out of date and I'm not too familiar with python. Any advice would be great!

Hi ahg,

the following code would work perfectly, if your images are named as left_XXX and right_XXX with XXX being a secuential number:

Code: [Select]

import Metashape
chunk = Metashape.app.document.chunk
cameras = [camera for camera in chunk.cameras if camera.type == Metashape.Camera.Type.Regular]
while cameras:
    camera1 = cameras.pop(0)
    for camera2 in cameras:
        if camera1.label.rsplit("_", 1)[1] == camera2.label.rsplit("_", 1)[1]:
            cameras.remove(camera2)
            scalebar = chunk.addScalebar(camera1, camera2)
            scalebar.reference.distance = 1
            break
print("script finished")
Now if you do not have a Underscore between left/right and number then you would need to modify code with something like

if camera1.label[0] == "l":
    label1 = camera1.label.lstrip('left')
else:
    label1 = camera1.label.lstrip('right')

do the same defining label2 for camera2 inside loop and finally test

        if label1 == label2:

Maybe this can send you a good path!
