Hi,

With reference to the following xmp file:

I have two questions:

  1. I’m not particularly familiar with such format but it seems to me an xml file essentially, so the question is can any xml parser parse such file? I need to read these files in a C++ program, and I was looking for an xml parser, can you suggest one or will any do the trick?

  2. After reading the file I need to convert principal points/ focal length in pixels, at the moment they seem to be expressed in focalLength35 mm, which I wasn’t even sure it was. After looking this up I think I can find the focal length in pixels by the formal below, assuming f35 is the focal length 35 mm, “Y” is the vertical resolution in pixel of the image and f is the unknown focal length in pixel it should just be:

f = X*(f35)/24

Is this formula correct? If not which one is it?
