I want to edit the calibration.xml file in the RC-Folder adding a custom export format.
The Export Format should export the TiePoints of each image and the corresponding Image Name, but you can only export the Image Index.
Code:
<format id="{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000003}"
mask="*.lst"
desc="Tie Points Real Coordinates in Pixels"
writer="cvs"
undistortImages="never"
exportImages="never"
requires="component">
<body>
# Tie Points Real Coordinates Data Export in Pixels
$ExportPoints(
Point index: $(index)
$ExportTrack(
Image index: $(imageIndex)
Feature index: $(featureIndex)
Real X [Pixel]: $((x + 0.5) * width)
Real Y [Pixel]: $((y + 0.5) * height)
# Export Image Name
$ExportCameras($(imageName))
)
)
</body>
</format>
In the Help Sections of RC I found the $ExportCameras Function where you can export the $imageName but it exports all image names and thats not what I want.
Hello @StuEv
I suppose you don’t need to create the own export. Can you check the COLMAP export if this is what you need? There in the Images.txt section you can export cameras with their indexes and also tie points for each camera.
I searched everywhere but there is no export option fpr colmap and if I try your code, then the $ExportTiePoints function is not found. Can you help me? Where is it located?
OK, I am sorry for that. COLMAP export is planned for next releases. Instead, can you try to add this script to the calibration.xml file if it works for you?

Hey @OndrejTrhan it works!!! my god I spend so much time with this thanks.
I have one more Question it seems like some features have the same “feature Index”:
Point index: 0
Image index: 0
Feature index: 940
Real X [Pixel]: 2975.213370323181
Real Y [Pixel]: 756.0130627155304
ImageName: 1.JPG
Image index: 4
Feature index: 994
Real X [Pixel]: 2830.730699300766
Real Y [Pixel]: 3006.320393562317
ImageName: 5.JPG
Image index: 1
Feature index: 952
Real X [Pixel]: 2906.399903297424
Real Y [Pixel]: 1319.910706579685
ImageName: 2.JPG
Image index: 2
Feature index: 940
Real X [Pixel]: 2879.564208984375
Real Y [Pixel]: 1881.819028228521
ImageName: 3.JPG
Image index: 3
Feature index: 820
Real X [Pixel]: 2853.721924424171
Real Y [Pixel]: 2446.360100358725
ImageName: 4.JPG
shouldn’t be every feature code unique?
And do you know if it is possible to convert the image coordinates to milimeters and with the Principal Point as the Center?
And do you know if there is a function to export also the camera name?
ExportCameraModels - this function exports all types of camera models used to take photos and laser scans.
**Syntax:**
$ExportCameraModels( noParametersJustAnyText )
**Available variable:**
cameraModel - a camera model
**Example:**
$ExportCameraModels( Camera model: $(cameraModel) )
