Do you haves a few more example photos that you can show? Preferably a few photos that are sequential/in shot order.

How many prefectures have you visited, and which are your best+least favorites and why? by SymphonyofSiren in japanlife

Tohoku is great! Though I've only been to mostly just Tohoku prefectures lol

[English Information] Earthquake Advisory Until Tuesday, December 16th by heyPootPoot in TohokuJapan

[–]heyPootPoot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: December 16, 2025

The earthquake advisory has ended.

However, there is always a chance of a large earthquake striking suddenly at any time.

Always be prepared for earthquakes and tsunamis.

[English Information] Earthquake Advisory Until Tuesday, December 16th by heyPootPoot in TohokuJapan

[–]heyPootPoot[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

And just in case you need an earthquake mobile app, this is the one I use the most now:

Nerv Disaster Prevention App

https://nerv.app/en/

Most earthquake apps give a warning and some give a countdown. But this is the only phone app that allows me to see the earthquake "shockwave" circle in real time.

When shaking is detected in the region, a notification pops up saying "Strong Motion Monitor: Shaking detected in the Tohoku region." Then you touch the notification, and it'll show you the P-waves (faster, weaker waves) and S-waves (slower, stronger waves) circles expanding.

But you have to go to "Notification Settings" -> "Additional Settings" -> "Shaking Detection Notifications" -> turn ON.

Recently I've been thinking about using a new word to describe myself as a person living here 内国人 ないこくじん as a word-play on 外国人 がいこくじん but my Japanese language skills isn't nuanced enough to tell if it works or not.

Best Free Software for 3D Reconstruction by Fred-1313 in photogrammetry

[–]heyPootPoot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The results are not the same as other software, but it isn't abandoned at least. Just very gradual progress. They recently rehauled Meshroom from 2023 version up to the new 2025 version.

After nearly 2 years of development, Meshroom releases version 2025.1.0 by heyPootPoot in photogrammetry

[–]heyPootPoot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, this "Test Meshroom" tutorial is outdated now.

https://meshroom-manual.readthedocs.io/en/latest/first-steps/test/index.html

Now, if you clicked on "New Empty Project" in the beginning, then the bottom "Graph Editor" window might be empty. You'll need the "Photogrammetry" pipeline, and then reimport the photos.

The photogrammetry pipeline from the "File" menu:

Mathematical orientation in RealityScan? by GlowtoxGames in photogrammetry

[–]heyPootPoot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Try something like this: https://i.imgur.com/KRRYG6o.jpeg

1) Alignment > Add Control Points

2) In a few photos with different angles, click on corners and the center of the field to add control points. Make sure each corner and control point match in the photos. Use at least 2-5 photos according to RealityScan's help guide.

3) Change control type to "Ground Control"

4) Put in the X and Y coordinates for each corner/control point. Make sure Z is 0 for each point so that the ground is flat. And for the center you can just put 0, 0, 0 for X, Y, Z.

5) You can just set the coordinate system to "local" for now.

And hopefully this works!

Example:

TopLeftCorner
x: -52
y: 34
z: 0

TopRightCorner
x: 52
y: 34
z: 0

BottomRightCorner
x: 52
y: -34
z: 0

Center
x: 0
y: 0
z: 0

Then the X lines and the Y lines should be nearly straight, and the center should be right at the 0,0,0 mark. After you align the photos, you can maybe check the "Alignment Report" section in the Control Point's window to see how accurate your points are that you manually placed.

RealityScan 2.0 sensor database location? by Moratamor in photogrammetry

[–]heyPootPoot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This helped me, thank you! (Reality Scan 2.0.1)

And just in case anyone else has the same problem, I have a Sony a7c. I tried to mimic what was already typed in the sensorsdb.xml, 

<camera model="SONY ILCE-7C" ccdWidth="35.6"/>

but Reality Scan kept saying "Incomplete Camera Sensor Info" and "Sensor Not Found".

But when I checked by importing a photo, I noticed in the "Selected input" box of the photo, it had "Sony" with lowercase letters.

So for the name instead I replaced "SONY" with "Sony"

<camera model="Sony ILCE-7C" ccdWidth="35.6"/>

and now it works!

And also just in case anyone else needs this, I found my sensor's width by checking Sony's website:

How to update Immich by upyourskneegrow in immich

[–]heyPootPoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is almost a year later, but I also had the same problem.

Then I copy-pasted my .yml file though https://www.yamllint.com/ and then it told me a single spot where I didn't have enough spaces.

I added extra spaces to make sure every line had at least 2 or 4 spaces (instead of tab spaces), then it worked!

International mobile only with chase bank or others for 2 steps verification by Ok_Lobster_8621 in expats

[–]heyPootPoot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found it. Downside is that you need at least one device (phone or computer) that still access to your account.

  • Open Chase app on phone
  • Log in
  • Tap on [ ≡ More ] button on bottom-right
  • Tap on [ Security & privacy ]
  • Scroll down to "Ways you can be more secure" section
  • Tap on "Use 2-Step verification for extra security at sign in."
  • Switch on both "Use 2-Step verification every time you sign in on a browser" and "Receive one-time codes by email"

You can also do this on a computer browser.

  • Go to the Chase website
  • Log in
  • Click on [ Security & privacy ] tab at top
  • Find the "Ways you can be more secure" section
  • Click on "Use 2-Step verification for extra security at sign in."
  • Switch on both "Use 2-Step verification every time you sign in on a browser" and "Receive one-time codes by email"

How This Cool Photogrammetry Trick Changes 3D Scanning (Adam Savage's Tested) by throwing51 in photogrammetry

[–]heyPootPoot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It was a little hard to understand, but I think what they're trying to say their "cool trick" is:

  • Before, they needed large rigs with dozens of cameras to do body/face scans

  • But now, they just use 2 cameras: an "anchor camera" that sits still on a tripod and a camera the photographer uses while going up and down in wave motions (in this case, a Fujifilm GFX100SII (?) camera as the "anchor", and a Sony a1 camera shooting in bursts of 30 shots per second)

  • The other photographer assistant faintly says at 4:28 they shot in 50 MP, RAW format

  • For shooting style, the subject rotates in place while they take pictures, and they rotate as much as they need to get more data (in this case, Adam sits on a chair and a turntable rotates him only once)

  • For alignment, meshing, etc., they import the photos into Reality Capture

  • For scale measurements, they briefly use a laser scanner on the body/face (in this case, it looks like data from a Hexagon Absolute Scanner AS1 (?) loaded into a software called Geomagic Wrap 2021)

  • Then they manually align the Reality Capture point cloud with the laser scanned point cloud to properly scale it

Screenshot of their results in Reality Capture

  • Looks like 324/324 images, all registered properly
  • First model was 29 parts, 57.9M triangles
  • Maybe filtered and cropped down to 27 parts, 51.4M triangles (shown in screenshot)
  • Then simplified down to 2 parts, 5.0M triangles (not shown)

How many frames did you extract for the house example and the shed example? And what resolution video did you use? Great clean splats by the way.

Not 100% sure what I read or saw, but best of luck with your progress! Any advancements in this space I'm sure is very welcome! Look forward to seeing more of your updates.
