Here is my latest Demo Reel. Let me know what you think. I was trying something new with it. Its a little long but I like it. O and it takes a bit to buffer Ill need to encode it at a smaller size.

Hi,

I am wondering if someone could shed some light on the workflow of incorporating the Survey Data feature in PFTrack to facilitate the set fitting process later in 3D program.

I have an interior scene that is already calibrated in ImageModeler and with proxy geometries built and locators placed on specific positions in Maya.

I then 2d track user-features in the positions corresponding to the locators.

User-features are then added into Survey Data window. The SurveyX, SurveyY, SurveyZ are fed with corresponding locators 3d position read out from Maya.

I make sure in every single frame, there are 6 survey points presented according to the User Guide.

I then solved the scene with only these survey points. The scene is solved in about 1 sec but the solution is terrible with out of whack scene orientation. The camera path shown in the perspective view seems close to what it supposes to be, but upside down. (Use Z-up is disabled in the Preference)

Here are couple screen cap of the solved scene and Survey Data window setting.

Any tip or comment will be really appreciated as I have been spending a week or so trying to incorporate survey data into this matchmove…..

Thanks,
Jason H.
