Dear RealityCapture developers and community,

I hope that someone might help!

I went through documentation and found this about camera priors (relative pose)

> **[RealityCapture Help](https://rchelp.capturingreality.com/en-US/appbasics/camerasettings_priors.htm)**

It says that relative pose should be visible as below.  
_Relative pose_  
_Unknown - there is a need to calculate it._  
_Draft - you have a camera oriented but wish to change its position._  
_Exact - the position is fixed and is not changed (for example a full-body scanner)._

However, I cannot find it in my RealityCapture (version 1.5.1).  
Only have option for absolute pose,  
I remember relative pose was visible in much earlier version few years ago.

Have seen that someone made the same question here but did not help.

> Thanks to reply, according to the prompt can’t find this option, would you please provide screenshot shows how to find the Relative pose options

My dataset consists of stereo images with

- gps coordinates (saved in image metadata)
- control points saved as csv
- distance between control points saved as csv
- camera intrinsic is not known
- camera extrinsic (relative pose) is known

The things I tried but did not work

- added all images in one file and doing simultaneous alignment of cameras
- generating independent components and tried to merge into one (hoping to get option of entering relative pose as suggested in the link above)
- created xmp file for each image and changed part with absolute → relative

Thank you very much

Hello Benjamin,  
the relative pose is not always available. It depends on the source data. It can be visible after importing the XMPs.

Hi Ondrej,

Could you please give an example of dataset with images and XMPs for which relative pose is available ? I have tried downloading tutorials datasets from RC website but no luck.

I am interested in what XMP needs to contain in order to have relative pose available.

Thanks

Found it! 🙂

While exporting XMP files, camera poses neeeds to be set to  
Export as exact

Thank you again for the help
