Can you calculate position and FOV of cameras using Hugin for 3dsmax?

[Richard Birket]

I'm interested to know if I were to take a series of photos of a building/object from different locations (even different FOVs), would Hugin be able to calculate (after manually picking common points) exactly where each photo was taken from (rotation/FOV etc) so that I can 'import' this info into a 3D software package like 3dsmax? I am pretty sure it is possible, but haven't found a tutorial/guide to get me started.

Anyone know of anything?

Cheers

Am AFK right now. But most of your task is like the "stitch murals" one (which there is a tutorial for): Advanced mode, tell hugin each different location to ba a different "lens", let hugin search for control points in the area both images have in common (possibly using masks), and let it optimize the parameters whose value you want to know.

Kind regards,

Gunter.

You can do this with Hugin, but only for planar objects like murals, not full 3D scenes.

You are looking for 'photogrammetry' software. There are now several free photogrammetry tools ('meshroom' is good). There is a list here: https://m.all3dp.com/1/best-photogrammetry-software/

I used a tutorial a few years ago that used hugin to stitch successive images taken of stores in a row along a street. I can't find it right now; does anyone else know the link to this tutorial?

The store fronts were mostly "planer" (relative to the distance to the camera and the images had been taken by moving down the street so the photographer was centered on each storefront.

I'm drawing on a vague memory here. I reckon that tutorial, or at least
one similar to your description, was by Yuval Levy if that's any help.

Terry, you were correct. Here is the link to the tutorial by Yuval Levy:

Richard, take a look at this and see if that provides any ideas for what you’re looking for.

my memory is as vague, but a search engine did the trick. blast from the past: < https://panospace.wordpress.com/2010/09/19/linear-panoramas-mosaic-tutorial/

.

not sure how helpful/applicable it is today.

Happy New Year/Decade. Yuv

Apology to the mailing list, I have been made aware that the SMTP
provider configured on my end mangled the link, turning it into a
tracking link. Another user posted the correct link.

Needless to say that that the Sendgrid test has been terminated on my
end. Was too good to be true. Back to good old self-hosted SMTP.

A little offtopic, but I am interested. I downloaded Meshroom. What can I do in this?
Can I load a series of photos to create a 3D model?
I tried everything, nothing worked. Started from loading a photo.

[Bruno Postle]

Yes basically you load lots of photos and it generates a texture mapped 3d model. I can't walk you through it as it needs Nvidia hardware with CUDA drivers, which I am currently without.
