First thing I'd do is check if there's any EXIF data in the image from the camera that shot it. It might give you an idea of the camera make, focal length, etc. Which will also help you figure out the size of the filmback. If there's a common object in the shot like a pen or street sign you can

Im not sure of an automated way. But can -Draw perspective guide lines for the image -drop a cube through a scanline renderer at the image screen resolution and with correct camera back. -then can try various different lens until u get a match? Pw On 6 Dec 2013 17:24, Ron Ganbar

Yeah, as soon as you've found out the field of view you can usually match it quite well by hand. And as the previous poster said, knowledge of the dimensions of a few objects will help a lot to get the right scale. If you've surveyed the 3D positions of a few points on set you could of course

Well, here I am thinking people live in the best of worlds. I agree with previous posters, estimated positions of point will have to do. Eliminate as many variabels as you can. Knowing, or estimating, the FoV is key! Cheers, Elias Ericsson Rydberg 6 dec 2013 kl. 19:36 skrev Richard Bobo

Any parallel lines? Find a vanishing point(s). Draw a cube from this and add a 3d cube. Adjust length and rotation of the camera until the cube fits the lines. Should give you your focal length. Howard On 6 Dec 2013, at 18:58, Elias Ericsson Rydberg elias.ericsson.rydb...@gmail.com wrote:
