Photos List

In the Photos list, you can view and set photo properties, as well as set photo visibility and inclusion in the project. When calculated camera positions are displayed, you can also view calculated property information for a selected photo. See "About the Item List" in the "Using the Project Tree and Item List" chapter for information on working with the Photos list.

Photo List

To open the Photos list:

§  In the Project Tree, select the Photos group. The Photos list is displayed showing two tabs. Click the Photos list to view a list of all the photo files in the project, with the following information/options:

 

Property

Description

Selection

Select the photos on which to perform an action, e.g., create tie point, show/hide camera symbol, exclude, delete.

Collection

Name of the photo collection (Read-only).

Name

Name of the photo.

Visible

Select the check box to show the photo in the 3D Window.

Exclude

Select the check box to exclude the photo from the project. This option is not available in Review mode.

Project Original

Select the check box to project the photo on the terrain in its provided camera position. A photo can be projected on the terrain to see if it fits the terrain imagery or to better understand the position of the photo. Only photos that have positioning (XY coordinates and altitude) and orientation (Omega, Phi, and Kappa) information can be projected.

Note:    Projecting multiple photos simultaneously can take several minutes.

X

East-west coordinate of the camera. (Required)

Y

North-south coordinate of the camera. (Required)

Altitude

Altitude of the camera in meters. (Required)

Omega

Omega Euler angle in degrees.

Phi

Phi Euler angle in degrees.

Kappa

Kappa Euler angle in degrees.

Yaw

Direction angle of the camera along the vertical axis relative to north.

Pitch

Tilt angle of the camera along its lateral axis relative to the horizon.

Roll

Roll angle of the camera along its longitudinal (front-to-back) axis.

Path

Full path of the photo.

K1

Defines the 1st radial distortion coefficient.

K2

Defines the 2nd radial distortion coefficient.

K3

Defines the 3rd radial distortion coefficient.

P1

Defines the 1st tangential distortion coefficient.

P2

Defines the 2nd tangential distortion coefficient.

Calculated Cameral Position Information (Additional columns)

Note:    If you want to view calculated information for a selected photo, click the Calculated button on the Tile tab.

Project Calculated

Select the check box to project the photo on the terrain in its calculated camera position.

Median Error 

Median of the triangulation errors of all the features in the photo. The triangulation error is the distance, in pixels, for each of the features in the photo, between the automatically identified feature and its projected triangulation position.

X Calculated

Calculated east-west coordinate of the camera.

Y Calculated

Calculated north-south coordinate of the camera.

Altitude Calculated

Calculated altitude of the camera in meters.

Omega Calculated

Calculated Omega Euler angle in degrees.

Phi Calculated

Calculated Phi Euler angle in degrees.

Kappa Calculated

Calculated Kappa Euler angle in degrees.

K1 Calculated

Calculated 1st radial distortion coefficient.

K2 Calculated

Calculated 2nd radial distortion coefficient.

K3 Calculated

Calculated 3rd radial distortion coefficient.

P1 Calculated

Calculated 1st tangential distortion coefficient.

P2 Calculated

Calculated 2nd tangential distortion coefficient.
