transform.json with several cameras???

[dberga]

I have been preprocessing datasets from distinct captures (moments in time and camera sizes). I could only acquire this by using hloc, obtaining the images.bin and cameras.bin. However there is the problem that I cannot export the transforms.json in which each frame is from a distinct camera (f.e. 18 frames for 18 cameras).

This error arises
https://github.com/nerfstudio-project/nerfstudio/blob/main/nerfstudio/process_data/colmap_utils.py#L461

I commented this assertion and the code works, however, it is considering only the first camera and so the output transforms.json is incorrect.

Here is the cam_id_to_camera:

In https://github.com/autonomousvision/sdfstudio/blob/master/scripts/heritage_to_nerfstudio.py#L87 there is a workaround for this, however, it requires a config file with these parameters: radius, min_track_length, voxel_size, origin.

In https://github.com/InternLandMark/LandMark?tab=readme-ov-file#prepare-dataset define this format of transforms.json also for multifocal sfm, see:

Did you face at all the problem where the transforms.json file has only two frames? Ive been struggling with this issue for the past 2 days.

Did you face at all the problem where the transforms.json file has only two frames? Ive been struggling with this issue for the past 2 days.

If it is a case of your transforms.json, can you share it? How many images (frames) you have?

Some of the parameters I would recommend to find more matches are superglue or disk+lightglue:

• by default hloc's superglue: ns-process-data images --data SCENE_PATH/images --output SCENE_PATH --skip-image-processing --matching-method exhaustive --sfm_tool hloc --no-use-single-camera --no-same-dimensions --matching-method exhaustive --matcher-type superglue
• or hloc's disk+lightglue: ns-process-data images --data SCENE_PATH/images --output SCENE_PATH --skip-image-processing --matching-method exhaustive --sfm_tool hloc --no-use-single-camera --no-same-dimensions --feature-type disk --matcher-type disk+lightglue --matching-method exhaustive

If you don't find the solution, we are discussing in issue #3081
