This tool is for use with https://github.com/NVlabs/instant-ngp and allows the use of Agisoft Metashape camera locations. Updated for per camera intrinsic outputs.
Copy agi2nerf.py file into instant-ngp\scripts folder
Use Agisoft Metashape to align cameras.
Export cameras
File -> Export -> Export Cameras...
Save the XML file exported from Agisoft Metashape into the directory that contains your /imagesfolder.
Open a shell (CMD, Powershell, Bash, etc.) and navigate to the directory with your XML file and /images folder:
cd [PATH TO FOLDER]
run the agi2nerf.py on this XML file using the following command, replacing the text in brackets […] with the file names and paths on your machine:
Example:
python "[PATH TO iNGP]\agi2nerf.py" --xml_in "[NAME_OF_XML_FILE].xml" --imgfolder .\images
The quotes are only required if you have spaces in any of the folder or file names.
Disable the agisoft scale and scene orientation
python "[PATH TO iNGP]\agi2nerf.py" --xml_in "[NAME_OF_XML_FILE].xml" --imgfolder .\images --no_scale --no_scene_orientation
Scale the scene down by 0.01
python "[PATH TO iNGP]\agi2nerf.py" --xml_in "[NAME_OF_XML_FILE].xml" --imgfolder .\images --scale 0.01
Display the cameras in 3d and set the camera size (for debugging)
python "[PATH TO iNGP]\agi2nerf.py" --xml_in "[NAME_OF_XML_FILE].xml" --imgfolder .\images --plot --camera_size 1
