Select cameras inside a shape polygon and move them to another chunk

[jugii]

Hello

Is there a way to select cameras inside a shape polygon and move them to another chunk? Or to delete photos outside a shape polygon?

thanks

Same question here! Would love to be able to select points within a shape without aligning all my photos first.

Polygon selection tool would be great too

Hello,

The example of the camera selection based on the selected polygonal shapes is below, for aligned cameras the estimated locations are used and for not aligned - the source reference coordinates, if present:

Code: [Select]

import Metashape

def point_inside(point, poly):

x, y = point.x, point.y
inside = False

p1x, p1y = poly[0]
for i in range(len(poly) + 1):
p2x, p2y = poly[i % len(poly)]
if y >= min(p1y, p2y):
if y <= max(p1y, p2y):
if x <= max(p1x, p2x):
if p1y != p2y:
xinters = (y - p1y) * (p2x - p1x) / (p2y - p1y) + p1x
if p1x == p2x or x <= xinters:
inside = not inside
p1x, p1y = p2x, p2y
return inside

doc = Metashape.app.document
chunk = doc.chunk
shapes = chunk.shapes
crs = shapes.crs
T = chunk.transform.matrix
polygons = dict()

for shape in shapes:
if not shape.selected: #skipping not selected shapes
continue
if shape.type == Metashape.Shape.Polygon:
polygons[shape] = [[v.x, v.y] for v in shape.vertices]

for camera in chunk.cameras:
camera.selected = False
if not camera.transform:
if camera.reference.location:
camera_coord = crs.project(chunk.crs.unproject(camera.reference.location))
else:
continue
else:
camera_coord = crs.project(T.mulp(camera.center))
for shape in polygons.keys():
if point_inside(Metashape.Vector([camera_coord.x, camera_coord.y]), polygons[shape]):
camera.selected = True

print("Script finished")
As for the copying cameras to the new chunk, currently there's no such built-in feature in API, so I can only suggest to form a list of file paths related to the cameras that should be copied (camera.photo.path), then create a new chunk (doc.addChunk) and use addPhotos to load the cameras based on the custom list of paths. Note that the coordinate information should be re-loaded to the newly created chunk, as no information from the source chunk will be used in such approach.

To cameras not align I`m trying this, but not working, any help?
