Scale is a display aid only — it isn't saved with the match; position/orientation/FOV are what determine alignment.

Field of view

Field of viewdeg (horizontal)

Cesium applies this angle across the frame's longer axis, so it is the horizontal FOV for landscape photos and the vertical FOV for portrait ones. The unambiguous vertical angle is shown below and is what gets saved.

Vertical FOVdeg (derived)

Optional — derive FOV from real camera specs instead of guessing:

Focal lengthmm

Sensor widthmm

Sensor width means the sensor dimension along the photo's horizontal axis. A full-frame camera is 36mm held landscape, but 24mm rotated for a portrait shot.

↳ FOV derived from focal length + sensor size

Aspect ratiofrom photo

Solve from photo

Refine a roughly-placed pose precisely: click a point in the photo, then click the same real-world point in the 3D scene, and repeat for at least 4 pairs (6–8+ spread across the frame works best). This nudges position, orientation, and FOV together to minimize the mismatch — it's for refining an already-close pose, not solving one from scratch. Tip: set photo opacity higher while placing points.
