In the Inspect tool, what is the difference between Component Connectivity and Match Count?
They seem to have the same/similar definitions. They seem to both define whether 2 cameras are part of the same virtual component.
Component Connectivity
If there is at least this number of edges among cameras, then those cameras are connected into one component (cameras marked with the same color).
Match Count
Two cameras are connected into one virtual component only if there is at least this number of common features (matches) among those two cameras
I understand Match Count better. Matches are defined by the Apical Angle and Feature Consistency parameters. Match Count is count of common matches between 2 cameras.
But Component Connectivity is more vaguely defined.
Hi Will,
component connectivity is more general and it is related to the cameras. This settings set the minimal number how many camera’s edges are creating one virtual component.
Like these cameras have three edges and create one pink virtual component:
This is the total number of edges that exist among a group of cameras
those cameras are connected into one component (cameras marked with the same color)
Ok so if we set this to “4”, then you can’t have a component with only 3 cameras (max number of edges being 3). But you could have a component with 4 or more cameras (max edges for 4 cameras is 6).
So for cameras below this threshold they just stay by themselves in a 1-camera virtual component, and cameras above this threshold end up in a multi-camera virtual-component.
