General / Photoscan giving me (two) different alignment point clouds (Bug?)
« on: March 21, 2015, 07:14:44 AM »
Hi guys, I dont know how else to explain this but I've been haivng some trouble with Photoscan recently.
After having taking photos of my subject by rotating around him three times resulting in 120 photos from all angles I load them up into Photoscan and in the beginning the alignment of the point cloud was terrible, it was almot like there was two face going on here, I really didnt know what to do.
Then I changed some settings on the Key Points and Tie Points which resulted me in a much more dense but sligtly more accurate result which gave me a point cloud with great alignment, very little overlap, I thought I got the right preferences correct in my settings. Then when I attempted to redo this again I once again got a horrible result which I am now stuck on and cant think of how I managed to get the better one.
The only time I managed to duplicate this result again is when I loaded a new batch of (the same) photos with different colour corrections applied. I saved it as soon as I saw a good result, but when I restarted everything again (without changing any of the settings) I got a bad alignment again.
This is really frustrating as the process of each stage is incredibly time consuming (literally leaving my computer on over many nights!) I dont understand what is going on here, I had it right early on and then it changed.
Can someone help me out here?
