This section describes the different interfaces used to manage the imported images.

This page discusses:

Image Gallery

The Image Gallery panel contains all the images used to create the 3D model.

User Interface Description

The Image Gallery is made of the following buttons:

CommandDescription


 Places the image as background and modifies the camera position accordingly.


Places all the images in the Image Board panel.


Places the image in 3D and the geometry in front of the camera.


Displays information about the pictures:
  • Image Name: Gives the name of imported image.
  • Retroprojection Error: Provides the average distance between projected 3D points in image plane (the captor of the camera) and corresponding pixel points, according to the preferred unit (pixels or percentage)
  • On Board: Sends the image in the Image Board panel.
  • To 3D: Places the image in 3D and the geometry in front of the camera.
  • Focal Length: Gives the focal length.


Displays the images as small icons.


Displays the images as large icons.

Note: When the images are imported in the Image Gallery, the orientation of the captures scene is taken into account and the image is placed accordingly.

By default the Image Gallery is docked on the left. The panel is stretchable and can be moved.

Preferences

Preferences for the retroprojection error and focal length information can be modified by clicking Show Preferences . For more information, see Managing Information Display For Images.

Image Board

The Image Board panel is the work area in which you display and manipulate images to define 2D elements and constraints used for the 3D reconstruction.

User Interface Description

Several options are available in the Image Board panel.

CommandDescription


Displays all the images in a single viewer.


Displays the images in two separate horizontal viewers, with one image in each viewer.


Displays the images in two separate vertical viewers, with one image in each viewer.


Displays the images in four separate viewers, with one image in each viewer.
Displays the image normally, without any transparency.
Displays the image as semi-transparent.
