Scripting / Automating Workflow

[hmcguirk]

Hi,

I am getting some good results from your product. I like it!

However, I am wondering whether, and how the different commands could be scripted/automated without using the GUI?

I can see when turning on 'Output' pane, what looks like console output from self-contained processes, including various 'exit-code' messages at the end of different steps.

Could these steps be called without using the GUI?

e.g. it might be useful to have a preconfigured set of parameters, with a target directory, or list of files, and to schedule the model generation to run overnight. Only on inspecting those results, I could then go back and manually correct only those models that need work.

Thanks!

Hello. im agree too that this could speedup the process significantly if we can use it as a batch from text file......

I am a developer, and think that a SDK that exposes Photoscan funtionalities would be great help. Through this SDK, batch processing will be possible. Any plan?

Hello,

Thank you for the suggestions regarding PhotoScan improvements.

We are currently working on the scripting support that should be included in the future PhotoScan releases. All PhotoScan functionality starting from loading photos, processing them and exporting obtained results will be available through the scripting API.

This approach will allow execution of the preconfigured processing scenarios from the command prompt without any use of GUI.

With best regards,
