Create Job
In Marso, you can now input your capture photography by creating a job. The top-most panel of the main window is used for this:
Enter the job information:
Job Name: A descriptive name that will be used to identify the scan throughout processing and once the results are ready. e.g Blue_Leather_Handbag
Letters, numbers, hyphens, and underscores are allowed. Do not use special characters.
Raw Images Folder: Specify the path to the raw images from the scan to be processed.
Raw Images Extension: Select from the list of supported file formats found in the Raw Images Folder.
Marso can only ingest camera RAW or DNG Files, it cannot read jpeg, png or exr, see supported files for details.
Light System: Describes the relative position of the lights to the camera. These are presets that can be re-used for different jobs if the same scanning setup is being used. See Calibration Section for more information.
Click Create to add the new job to the job list.
A confirmation dialog will be displayed. Check the number of images and the raw extension is as expected before proceeding.
The created job will then be displayed in the ‘Available’ pool.
To continue you will need to run the initial DEVELOP step, to create photogrammetry images, and
When using Marso, photogrammetry must only be done with images generated from Marso, rather than using the RAW images, or your own JPEGs/EXRs. See Photogrammetry.
Marso Photogrammetry Images are created by running the DEVELOP step.
Image Creation
Click “Queue' to add the selected job to the run queue.
This will launch a configure dialog where you can customise your photogrammetry images.
Image Customisation
Click ‘Open Image’ to open an image preview from the capture.
A preview of the photogrammetry image will be loaded.
This will open preview of your photogrammetry images.
If the preview image is too bright or too dark, adjust the brightness slider.
Photogrammetry images will have their brightness adjusted.
You can also optionally export as larger EXR files, instead of JPGs, and modify the directory where the photogrammetry images are being written.
For most use cases we recommend JPG photogrammetry images.
Once you are happy with your configuration, click ‘Queue’ to save the config and add the job to the processing queue.
This will return you to the main Marso window, where the selected job is now in the run queue.
Running the Develop step
With a job in the run queue, click 'Start' and all jobs in the queue will run.
The first job in the queue will begin running. Progress is displayed at the bottom of the window.
If necessary, the running job can be paused or stopped at any time, using the buttons in the bottom right of the window.
Once the DEVELOP step is complete, the job will return to the available pool with status ‘DO SOLVE’.
Click ‘Images’ to open explorer at the folder containing the images that should be used for photogrammetry.
Do Solve
You are now free to follow your normal photogrammetry process, as long as it meets the
Photogrammetry.
