manual matching

[zac6x9]

Hi
I am sorry to be a noob.
Is it possible to use photo pairs to generate feature matches by hand, click reference point on one photo then click on the other photo and so on until a decent number of matches is built.
I have a few (7) very bad photos of an object I can see reference points and edges that could be linked to generate the basic geometry I need to start building a model.
thanks very much

Hi Zac,

no problem, never be sorry, we have all been noob

Zephyr is an automatic modeling tool, but has some tools that can be used for driving the solution manually.
It's not possible in Zephyr to do everything manually, but you can use control points in different ways to "drive" the solution. Please note that control points and constraints can be used only in the Pro and Aerial versions of Zephyr.

I suggest you have a look at our video tutorials on this:

If you have a "bad" solution, you can add control points to adjust it.
If you have disconnected clusters part, you can use control points to merge clusters or add photos manually. Please note that you always need a reconstructed cluster of at least three cameras to do this.
