Mixing cameras with and without calibration
« on: July 20, 2015, 05:24:12 PM »
Using the PhotoScan targets, I have calibrated a set of 9 cameras to scan an object.

This calibration allows me to have the correct scale for the scanned objects.

I have another set of  9 images, taking by the same cameras but with a different object orientation (the background is featureless so that's not a worry)

I now want to use all 18 images to build a more complete object model that is scaled correctly. I have tried importing all 18 images and then importing the camera calibration file (containing 9 camera information) but this only seemed to use 9 cameras still.

Any idea how to do this in PhotoScan?

Hello Johnny,

If you have a fixed rig that defines the exact distances between camera centers, you can use scale bar instances and specify the fixed length between correspondent cameras in the rig.
