Tie Points = Great! Dense Cloud = Super BAD!
« on: December 03, 2017, 08:37:33 PM »
Hi!

I'm trying Photoscan on a rock with a total of 44 photo done on a cloudy day.

When I align photos, I get a great Tie Points result that look exactly like the rock. Only 2 photos were not aligned.  But when I build the Dense Cloud, the result is a bit exploded. 

I've tried different Depth Filtering but the result is always the same.

One odd thing I noticed is that the alignement (Tie Points) was done using the mask I did manually within Photoscan but the dense cloud looks like it did not use the masks. You can see on the dense cloud the white pole I used to hold the rock but that I masked out.

I'm using Agisoft PhotoScan Standard Version 1.3.4 build 5067 (64bit).  I've got an i7, 32Gb ram and a gtx 1070.

Hello olivierth,

You need to invert masks, currently the object is masked and the background - isn't. So only background data would be used for the dense cloud generation process.

DOOOOOHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

hahaha! Thanks!

Well, it's interesting to see that the alignment (Tie Points) don't use the masks at all.

The more you know!

...is there a way to tag a this tread as SOLVED ?

Hello olivierth,

For the alignment the use of masks is optional - there's "Constrain features by masks" option in the Align Photos dialog.
