How to set region volume to 2 camera locations?

[Fernando]

Hi, I was wondering if I could manually set the region bounding box to 2 points in space: 2 camera locations.

So for example these are the camera locations:

cam1(0,0,0)
cam2(100,100,100)

Together they form the maximum / most outer points of the region volume.

How can I set the region to that volume?

Thanks!

Hi, maybe someone could help me? Or is this a really dumb question? Sorry, I'm a total Python noob

Hello Fernando,

Are region sides supposed to be parallel to the coordinate system planes?

Hello Alexey,

No, that is not necessary.

Thanks

Hello Fernando,

Please try the following:

Code: [Select]

import PhotoScan

doc = PhotoScan.app.document
chunk = doc.activeChunk

p1 = PhotoScan.app.getInt("Specify first camera index:", 0)
p2 = PhotoScan.app.getInt("Specify second camera index:", len(chunk.cameras)-1)
p1 = chunk.cameras[p1]
p2 = chunk.cameras[p2]

region = PhotoScan.Region()
dist = p2.center - p1.center
region.size = PhotoScan.Vector([dist.x, dist.y, dist.z])
region.center = (p1.center + p2.center) / 2.
region.rot = PhotoScan.Matrix().diag([1,1,1])
chunk.region = region

PhotoScan.app.update()

On script run you'll be asked about camera indices you wish to use (leading zero).

Thank you so much Alexey! I'll give this a try.
