Camera UID Assignment in loadCam - Using Enumeration Index vs cam_info.uid

[duyiblue]

Hi! I've been working with custom datasets and noticed that loadCam in utils/camera_utils.py assigns camera UIDs using the enumeration index rather than cam_info.uid:

# Current behavior (line 66)
uid=id  # id comes from enumerate(cam_infos)

# Potential alternative
uid=cam_info.uid  # Use the actual UID from dataset

This causes issues when:

• I'm using non-consecutive views (e.g., [0, 5, 10, 15...]) for my test set.
• Evaluating specific views - camera UID 5 might actually load the 6th camera in the list

Is this intentional? I'm happy to submit a PR to change it to uid=cam_info.uid if that would be helpful, but wanted to check first in case there's a specific reason for the current design.

Thanks for the great codebase!
