Modify the capture distance in the chunk reference setting by python

[howcanoewang]

Hello, I am writing scripts for batch processing, but hard to find the API to modify this value. Any ideas to implement this without manually changing chunks one by one?



Thanks for your help.

Hello howcanoewang,

You can set this value as following:

Code: [Select]

chunk = Metashape.app.document.chunk
capture_distance = 10.5
chunk.meta['subject_distance'] = str(capture_distance)

Hi,

I would like to set the capture distance for each camera in a python script. I'm using Metashape 2.1.0, and it seems there is no command for that in the API?

Any solutions or ideas ?

Thanks in advance!

Seboon,

Just try the command Alexey provided above:

Code: [Select]

chunk.meta['subject_distance'] = str(capture_distance)
It works for Metashape 2.1.3, I've tested it.

The possibility to add capture distance for individual cameras has been added to Python API in 2.1.2 version and works in a similar way:

Code: [Select]

camera.meta['subject_distance'] = str(capture_distance)
