Build Frames & Cameras Tables Tool

Hello,

I’m having an issue with the Build Frames & Cameras Tables tool in ArcGIS Pro and I can’t figure out what’s going wrong.

The tool correctly reads my orientation file - in the Sample Record preview, the values for omega, phi and kappa are displayed correctly. However, after running the tool, all OPK values in the output Frames table are 0, 0, 0.

This is a sample of my orientation file:

photo ID	px	py	pz	omega	phi	kappa
002_016_NAD000139	403474.609	5743572.261	1193.941	0.00150	-0.06695	-179.87878
002_017_NAD000138	403611.985	5743573.573	1195.324	0.02095	-0.06199	-179.84010
002_018_NAD000137	403749.369	5743573.983	1196.530	0.13217	-0.05141	-179.84519
002_019_NAD000136	403886.753	5743573.689	1197.363	0.12733	-0.04536	-179.92250
002_020_NAD000135	404023.979	5743573.162	1197.961	0.07119	-0.02203	-179.91776

And the output Frames table looks like this:

ObjectID	Raster	CameraID	PerspectiveX	PerspectiveY	PerspectiveZ	Omega	Phi	Kappa	SRS
1	(...)\Images\002_016_NAD000139.tif	1	403474.609	5743572.261	1193.941	0	0	0	25832
2	(...)\Images\002_017_NAD000138.tif	1	403611.985	5743573.573	1195.324	0	0	0	25832
3	(...)\Images\002_018_NAD000137.tif	1	403749.369	5743573.983	1196.530	0	0	0	25832
4	(...)\Images\002_019_NAD000136.tif	1	403886.753	5743573.689	1197.363	0	0	0	25832
5	(...)\Images\002_020_NAD000135.tif	1	404023.979	5743573.162	1197.961	0	0	0	25832

What might be the cause of the problem? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

is it a field mapping issue?

I double-checked the field mapping and everything seems correct - Omega, Phi and Kappa are properly assigned to the corresponding fields.

Also, the Sample Record preview shows the correct values, so the mapping appears to be working at that stage. The issue only occurs in the output Frames table after running the tool, where all OPK values become 0.
