For optimal performance, photographs must be divided into one or more photogroups. Photogroups are homogeneous sets of photographs, all taken with the same physical camera with identical interior orientation (image dimensions, sensor size, focal length,...). If the photos are organized in subdirectories according to the camera used to shoot them, ContextCapture can automatically determine relevant photogroups.
