Generate allready scale model
« on: November 24, 2014, 03:15:53 PM »
It's possible with a good camera calibration, generate allready scale model?
PS
I can't use GCP or marker...the proccesing must be more easy possible.

Tanks

This has nothing to do with camera calibration at all! You can fill your photograph with a coin or with the moon ;), it has only to do with image scale.
So you need something of a known length in some of your photographs and then you can use it to scale your model (scale bar function in PhotoScan Pro or with a 3rd party software like the free Meshlab or CloudCompare for PhotoScan Standard).

Camera calibration method to get correct scale of model ???
« Reply #2 on: January 08, 2015, 11:46:30 PM »
Is it possible to modify the camera calibration parameters in order to have correct scale in photoscan (standard version)? I really miss the scale calibration in the standard version. Any other solution, welcome.

Hi mr_cg,

No, because it is a question of varying distances from cameras to your object of interest => different image scale.

How you can do it with Meshlab look here:

Another option with higher accuracy is SFM_georef (but I don't know if it is compatible with the newer version 1.1 of PhotoScan):
