Launch camera calibration: opens 3DF Lapyx, with an easy to use wizard to compute the camera calibration. Follow the on screen instruction if you wish to precalibrate your camera. You won't need to print anything: the pattern will be shown on the screen and that is what you need to photograph. Batch: available only in 3DF Zephyr Pro and 3DF Zephyr Aerial, the batch processing window allows to schedule certain reconstruction jobs. Jobs must be defined via XML files, and they must follow the pipeline workflow, at least partially (this means that you can setup a job from the sparse point cloud generation to the texture mesh generation, eventually stopping at any of the intermediate step, but you can not define a job that starts after a camera orientation). The xml files must be defined in this format: <?xml version="1.0"?> <Settings> <Category name="Batch"> <Entry key="InputDirectory" value="ImagesInputPath"> <Entry key="OutputDirectory" value="OutputPath/> <Entry key="Phase" value="SamanthaStereo"/> <Entry key="SamanthaPresetCategory" value="Urban"/> <Entry key="SamanthaPresetName" value="Fast"/> <Entry key="StereoPresetCategory" value="Urban"/> <Entry key="StereoPresetName" value="1_Default"/> <Entry key="SurfacePresetCategory" value="Urban"/> <Entry key="SurfacePresetName" value="0_Fast"/> </Category> </Settings> It is also possible to use the custom parameters directly in the XML. A description of hte categories and the parameters is available when selecting "Custom" during the reconstruction wizards or by selecting the properties (with the right click) of an element
