Capturing Reality Camera Rig

Hi Everyone,

After a quick community post search, it looks like there were plans for fixed camera rigs to be implemented into RC but I am unable to find if it ever came to be?

We are working with a Ladybug 5 (See below) which is an extremely rigid camera rig comprised of 5 sensors.

https://www.flir.com/products/ladybug5plus/ 

In ContextCapture we are able to create a relative rig whereby the orientation and position of each photo of a “Camera Event” are known and held fixed, while the absolute position and orientation of the block can be adjusted.

Looking forward to hearing if this is a current feature of one which is planning on be implemented in the near future.

Cheers,

John

Hi EvenPheven,

it is still in our feature request database. I will add your vote there.

In some cases it should be possible using XMPs data (https://support.capturingreality.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360007680199-Rigging-and-XMP-Command-line). XMP file defines the rig and also which image is in concrete rigs slot. These files have to be created manually.

If your cameras will have GPS, you can also use the flight log for this, where each camera will have its position it real time.

375471859899 did you get this to work in RC?

I curently am staring at a dataset from a ladybug camera.

It’s unprocessed 6 images per position and per position there is a csv avaiable with x y x , orientation and accuracy data.

374823146340 what is the status on supporting a Rig like this in RC?

Hi OldRaven, there weren’t changes in this since. I will add your vote into a feature request.

Hi,
Does this feature still on the list of request ?

I have a stereocamera system where I know exactly the position between both cameras and I would like to use it to scale my models.

Thanks,

Hi MissSwing,
yes, this is still a feature request.
But it should be doable using XMPs. Unfortunately, we don’t have an example of this exact process, but you can find more about XMPs in the application’s help.
