I am surely doing something wrong here, any advice or help would be highly
appreciated.

GOAL:
I want to transform the object mesh (.inc) in the same pose as the object in the
captured image and then render it on the object in the captured image.

that is, I would like this rendered object by pov-ray to alight exactly with the
object in the captured image.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION:
I get my object mesh from the keypose/ BOP dataset, with its corresponding
ground-truth object pose in the form of a Transformation matrix(Original
Transformation matrix.png). This is in the Right Hand Coordinate system.

Since POV-ray operates in the Left-hand coordinate system I tried to convert the
transformation matrix ( the ground-truth pose provided by the dataset) to the
right hand by following suggestions:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1263072/changing-a-matrix-from-right-handed-to-left-handed-coordinate-system


That is from the original transformation matrix:

{ rx, ry, rz, 0 }
{ ux, uy, uz, 0 }
{ lx, ly, lz, 0 }
{ px, py, pz, 1 }

To change it from left to right or right to left, flip it like this:

{ rx, rz, ry, 0 }
{ lx, lz, ly, 0 }
{ ux, uz, uy, 0 }
{ px, pz, py, 1 }


But this leads to the following result (image).

Since this throws the object out of the image, i change the "CamLoc" from
"<0,0,0>" to "<0,0,-2>" in the script below (image).



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THE SCRIPT I AM USING IS:

global_settings {max_trace_level 40 }

#include "shapes.inc"

#declare CamDir = vnormalize(LookAt - CamLoc);
#declare CamR   = vnormalize(vcross(CamSky,CamDir));
#declare CamUp  = vnormalize(vcross(CamDir,CamR));

map_type 0 interpolate 2 } #end
        #end
    }
#end

box { <0,0,0> <1,1,0.01>
    #ifdef (Calib)
        pigment { pigmentStructure }
        finish { ambient 1 }
    #else
        pigment { pigmentImage }
        finish { ambient Dim }
    #end

}
#end

PROBLEM:

As you can see this particular transform throws the object out of the image.

Ideally, i would like this rendered object by pov-ray to alight exactly with the
object in the image.

I have also tried a few other transforms but they also do not seem to work.


for reference, i also add the result of the pov-ray rendered image using the
original transform given by the dataset (attached image: )


Any help would be greatly appreciated!

So, it looks to me like you're trying to take a mesh bottle and put it in the
same place as the bottle in the image.
I'm also assuming that your image is on the xz plane.

I think what you ought to do is take your mesh, determine the bounding box, and
then position the mesh so that it is centered on the y axis, and its bottom is
at y=0.

#declare Min = min_extent {your mesh};
#declare Max = max_extent {your mesh};

#declare Center = (x+z)*(Min+Max)/2;
#declare Y_adjust = (Max.y-Min.y)/2;
object {your mesh translate -Center translate y*Y_adjust}

(That's all untested, so check it)

Then you can just translate the object to anywhere you want, knowing that it's
now centered, with the bottom at the origin.

If you're trying to flip something from right to left, the easiest way is to
just scale -x.
