Hello cs,
I agree with Jan on the topic.
1. When two identical cameras (with identical lenses) are used to capture photos, PhotoScan will process them as they were taken by the same camera, and thus will maintain the same calibration data for all photos. That should be fine in most cases, as the real calibration data is likely to be very similar between the lenses.
2. If independent calibration for each camera is required, you may calibrate them manually (as Jan has described). The following procedure may be used:
- Create a new project
- Add all photos captured by the first camera
- Align the photos
- Export refined camera calibration for the first camera using "Camera Calibration" dialog from the Tools menu.
- Repeat all the above steps for the second camera.
As a result you will get two calibration files for the two cameras used. When processing all the photos at once you will need to load obtained calibration files before performing photo alignment. To do that:
- Create a new project
- Load all the photos for both cameras
- Open "Camera Calibration" dialog from the Tools menu
- Select all photos captured by the 1st camera
- Click Import... and load the 1st camera calibration file
- Select all photos captured by the 2nd camera
- Click Import... and load the 2nd camera calibration file
- Click Close button to close the dialog box
With best regards,
