Problems rendering a ceiling light with ARKit - arkit

I've been trying to render this model in ARKit: https://free3d.com/3d-model/traditional-ceiling-light-485.html. I have OBJ/MTL files for both the on and off version of the light. When I render them in Blender, they look like this:
When I drop them into my ARKit test app, however, they look like this:
In Blender, you can clearly see that the "on" version of the light is kind of glowing whereas in ARKit both models look exactly the same. I'm guessing that the MTL file contains something that ARKit does not support. The MTL on the "on" version is as follows:

Is it simply the case that ARKit can't render this model properly?


Looks like there is no light in your scene (or lighting environment) but it's hard to tell from your picture.
Make sure both assets have PBR materials and to get the best results, go through every single one of them. Pay close attention to the emission property, as obj files usually have them on white/clear grey. this is what will make the difference between the 2 objects. In fact, you only need to change the emissive property for 1 material to go from OFF to ON.

Here is a solution using fgetl and regexp
rid = fopen('test.txt','r');
wid = fopen('test2.txt','w');
while ~feof(rid)
s = fgetl(rid); % read a line
if regexp(s, '\d+\.\d+') % float founded
fprintf(wid, '42\n'); % wite "another integer"
else
fprintf(wid, '%s\n', s); % write original data
end
end
fclose(rid);

How accurate is opencv cameraCalibration method?

I'm trying to calibrate iPhone camera using chessboard in OpenCV. I took 10 pictures of the chessboard for each camera with different angles and position and get corners with findChessboardCorners
cornerSubPix
Corners were detected correctly and I run calibrateCamera. Which returned 1.61 and 1.91 for each camera respectfully.
This is camera matrix and distCoefficients for the first camera:

iPhones are absolutely the same, so I guess the intrinsic parameters also should be the same. But distortion parameters could vary from device to device. Is it normal that camera matrices are so different.
Moreoever. I repeated the experiment with different images and same camera and tis is what I got:
Returned values are 3.08 and 2.96 respectively.

Let's try to read a simple STL file, apply a transformation to its vertices (for example a rotation around the Z axis), and render it.
Here is an example (text format) STL file for a cube with faces perpendicular to the coordinate axes:

Save it to cube.stl. Then import it using your ftread code:
[F, V, C] = ftread('cube.stl');
I'll be ignoring the color information in C here.
This is the 3D rotation matrix that rotates 60 degrees around the Z-axis:
Rz = [ cos(pi/3), sin(pi/3), 0 ;
-sin(pi/3), cos(pi/3), 0 ;
0, 0, 1 ];
Transform all vertices:
V = V * Rz';
Draw the cube as a set of faces using MATLAB's patch command:
patch('Faces', F, 'Vertices', V, 'FaceVertexCData', (1:12)', 'FaceColor', 'flat');
view(3)
axis equal
It looks like this:

opengl es 1.1 : how to apply several materials to one single object?

I've a simple cube which i have imported from Blender 3D; this cube has 3 different materials for its face; yellow, pink and blue.
So far i have managed to apply one material on an opengl es cube. However i am wondering how to apply several materials to the same cube.
As you will see from the OBJ file; the materials share the same vertices; only their indices change.
First thought has been to use a drawelement for each of this material; but is it first really working ? and how performance costly is it and is there a better approach in Openg GL ES 1.1 ?
Many thanks for any pointer you can provide me.
Cheers,
Stéphane

Yes, it is possible to change material state settings in between the glDrawElements calls.
You can just set color for first chunk of indices, then call glDrawElements with these indices, then set next color and so on.
Performancewise it is usually best to draw geometry in as large chunks as possible and change material settings as rarely as possible. So, assuming all you change is the color, then having colors as vertex attributes may be better, eventhough it uses up more memory for the vertex buffer. But as long as your material change is nothing more than a glColor call, you should be fine. For more detailed performance advices you need to describe in more detail what you're actually rendering.
