Rolling Shutter questions

[jstroup]

Hello -

I have a couple of questions about Rolling Shutter corrections in Metashape.

First - how does Metashape determine the camera sensor read-out time for a camera?  For example, WebODM has a database of known camera read-out times, or the user can enter the read-out time for the task being processed.  Alternately, Pix4D allows the user to set if the camera sensor is a rolling-shutter - and if so, will calculate the read-out time from the data.

As a note - the camera sensor read-out times reported in the Pix4D quality reports are often wildly different from the actual readout times for a camera.

Second - I'm testing Metashape for models of building where the survey flight path is an orbit.  By stopping the drone at each photo, no rolling shutter correction is needed.  But if the drone does not stop, the the rolling shutter effect will exist - but in the lateral direction.  Does Metashape provide a rolling shutter correction in this case?

Thank you!
