Get best matching photos
« on: December 05, 2022, 03:02:36 AM »
As I understand, in the "AlignPhotos" step Metashape finds the best matching camera pairs (probably the ones the share the most SIFT points). Is it possible to get a list of these? e.g. For a given photo I'd like to have it's 10 best camera pairs (= the 10 photos that share the most SIFT points with that photo).

Is something similar to that possible in Metashape?

Hi Sergio,

I believe what you're looking for can be found in Tools > Tie Points > View Matches.
Hope that helps.

David

Thank you for you answer. I forgot to clarify that I'm looking for a solution using the Python API. Most of the time the GUI has the same functionality on python so I checked what you suggested. Unfortunately, for each image, the number of valid and invalid tiepoints is displayed, but what I need is the best image pairs...
