Numerous different cameras
« on: June 18, 2016, 10:19:43 PM »
I scanned a ballerina with 3 different cameras:  A Canon 6D, a Canon 50D and a SONY a7R II.  I dollied around a static model with 3 photographers, one on each camera.

So I get varying results and varying image sizes.  Lots of variables.  But lots of great, tack-sharp photos too.  So I'm not complaining.

Should I create a chunk for each camera and process each individually, making a model from each and taking the best one?

Or would you recommend processing them all together?

And is it advisable to run some calibration on these different cameras?

I have run the quality check utility and blacklisted those cameras that returned a below 0.5 result.  And I've visually checked each photo in Photoshop to ensure that what I want in focus is indeed in focus.

Hello Jon,

I suggest to process all the images at once in the same chunk. Just make sure before processing in the Tools -> Camera Calibration window that the images are properly sorted to the different calibration groups according to the camera model, image resolution and focal length.
