In order to follow a more logical process for beginners, text menus have been reorganized.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused to existing users.

New Additional tool for Coded Target Size Estimation

Allows you to estimate the correct size of Coded targets according to your camera, your lens and the size of the object.

Click on Target Size Estimator to display the following dialog box:

Enter camera and object data in the gray boxes (define all values) to obtain an estimation of the target sizes to use in the green boxes.

Can be launched from the menu Tools > Create Targets > Draw Coded Targets.

Display of Reference Distance used in the Main dialog box.

Added a command for installing a Camera file

Run the command, select the camera file you want to install (eg. from a CD or USB Key).

The camera file is automatically copied into the appropriate Rhinophoto folder.

Added information about calculation results in the progress bar

New Tool Bar and new text menus

Display of 3D camera positions in Rhino

Camera is displayed and oriented at each 3D position and is stored in a Rhinophoto Sub Layer named [imageName}.Rhinophoto

Automatic Zoom when adding 2D Point or adjust point position

Appears when a command ( ) requiring a point to be created or selected is used.

The Rhinophoto Automatic Zoom command can be activated by simply keeping the left mouse button pressed to activate the Zoom window.

The contents of Zoom window display will change as you drag the mouse to a different position and when you release the mouse button the point will be added to the project.

The Zoom function has several options accessible through keyboard shortcuts :

"Page UP" key = Increase the Zoom factor.

"Page Down" key = Decrease the Zoom factor.

"T" key (Target key) = Determine the center of a target.

- The advantage of this command is the precision and the quality with which points can be defined. Point definition is accurate to 1/100th of a pixel.

- Simply press the "T" key when the zoom window is used. The cursor changes, the zone is detected, the center of the target is automatically calculated (a cross is displayed in the center), and Rhinophoto draws an ellipse around the recognized target.

- "E" key = Activate the illumination of dark areas.

- Automatic illumination of dark areas of an image : Simply press the "E" key when making an automatic zoom to lighten the image.

Automatic zoom without 'Illumination' (move the mouse over the image to see the feature)

Automatic zoom with 'Illumination' (after pressing the "E" key)

Possibility to use predefined Reference Bar

(without editing any configuration file)

A new tab "Reference Bars" is added at right side of  the "2D Images" tab

Notes :

1 - "Apply Changes" button saves the values for the current project.

2 - "Save Values" button saves the values of the Reference Bar into the text file .\Rhinophoto\ReferenceBars\*.txt.

3 - "Save As New Ref. Bar" button saves a  new  text file in the folder .\Rhinophoto\ReferenceBars\*.txt. It creates a new Reference Bar. If an image (*.png file format, size 250x150 pixels) exists in the folder .\Rhinophoto\ReferenceBars\xxxxx.png and has the same name as a txt file, this image is loaded and displayed in the dialog box.

4 - Reference Axis/Cross are currently not used  (will be used for Camera Autocalibration).
