Custom Dataset(s) Advice

[madjat20]

Hi,

I have a custom dataset that is different from the expected "cameras panning around an object in 3D space" use case. My dataset is actually inverted from this use case - I'm sweeping across a room with my phone camera while staying in a fixed location (i.e. changing camera angle instead of camera position).

I've followed the "Tips for custom datasets" discussion, but I do not get good camera data from COLMAP, and therefore the output is pretty unintelligible.

I have a similar scene where I move the angle of my camera without changing the X,Y considerably, and I get similar results. On this scene, I noticed the camera poses were extracted well, but the cameras themselves are right on top of the unit cube:

Is there anything I can do to prepare or process my scene correctly such that it works with the software as currently designed?

Thank you for your help!
