Question on scene scaling

[Gaaaavin]

I noticed that in auto_reorient.py, the scene is scaled so that the average point to camera-center distance is 20m.
I'm curious what's the reason for this number. Is that purly based on experience?

Hi,
Our datasets are scaled to metric using some measurements, such as car or road lengths.
For our code release, we then estimated the median point-to-camera distance for one of our datasets (SmallCity) and found it to be roughly 20. We used it in the auto_reorient script to maintain a similar behaviour.

Thank you for the clarification!
