Hi there!

I'm just playing around with Agisoft Photoscan 
(http://www.agisoft.ru/products/photoscan/standard/) to deal with a large set 
where I have to do some CG additions in several shots. Most of the shots are 
with locked camera. So having a rough temp model of this outdoor set (big 
square with some buildings surrounding it) would be really helpful to correctly 
position the CG buildings.

Reconstructing the set with Photoscan from my DSLR images worked quite nice. 
The resulting model should be more than enough to help creating these shots. My 
idea now was to add single frames from each of my locked camera shots (ARRI 
Alexa) into Photoscan, align these images as well and export the found camera 
positions with the model and use these virtual cameras for my renderings.

Problem now is: to align all the images, Photoscan uses an complex (?) lens 
distortion algorithm and undistorts all images before doing there alignment. So 
the undistorted images match fine to the model from Photoscan. But to do my 
comps, I'd have to it the other way around: distort the CG renderings and merge 
them with my original Alexa footage. So I'd need a node in Nuke to apply the 
same lens distortion as Photoscan does. I get the values from Photoscan, but 
which node can I use to do the distortion?

I think, Photoscan uses the same model as they use in their free lens 
distortion software: http://www.agisoft.ru/products/lens/, which mentions a 
'Brown's distortion model'. Anyone of you knows if there is a node in Nuke (or 
Nukepedia or so) which uses the same algorithms? Or any other idea?

Thanks, Abraham
