Hey guys,
First time poster here. I have a couple of hypothetical questions that I'd like to ask about the software and the scripting capabilities.
I have a method which I plan to use which can track the 6 DOF pose of my SLR camera with an accuracy of about 1-2mm (within a bounding volume of about 5m3).
Firstly, is the use of this information likely to make a big difference in the quality of mesh and texture outputs vs the standard approach where the software calculates the camera positions based on matched features?
Secondly, how can I make use of this information in the scripting API? I'm guessing I have to skip the initial alignment somehow and force the camera positions to be my own tracked position. Can someone give me a bit of a head start or code snippet on how this might look?
Lastly, is it feasible to have a script which aligns a single photo 'on-the-fly'? What I mean by this is I'd like to snap a picture and have the software align that photo straight away so that I can see feedback in 3D of what I have scanned so far. Is this possible or would the process be too slow to be useful?
Thanks in advance,
Adrian
