General / Re: Human skull: Cannot create dense point cloud

« on: March 09, 2019, 10:05:56 PM »

Sorry, I forgot to add that when it took 27 hours, I had imported 413 photos, so it weren't 140 photos. In a later attempt, once aligned I reduced the number of images from 413 to 140 to make it less costly. In all my attempts at building the Dense Cloud I haven't used a superior quality than "medium".

The computer is a Lenovo Yoga 720 i7 (8th generation) 16 GB RAM.

I'm now trying to create the dense cloud with all 413 source images. The dialogue now says 5 hours, but the time estimation keeps increasing. I have also sent the project saved in PSZ to support@agisoft.com.

Regards.

Thank you for your help. I will try to align the photos again but this time using the source format as you suggested. However, when I aligned the images in JPEG format and reduced to 25% (1400x900 pixels) it took many hours to complete.

By the way, is it normal to have to wait 27 hours for the dense point cloud to create from those reduced JPEG photos? Since this process is so computationally expensive, I couldn't use my computer for anything else for more than a day, even though my computer is rather potent.

I'll write again when I've sent the project saved in PSZ format with alignment.

Regards.

General / Human skull: Cannot create dense point cloud

Hello.

I'm very new to 3D and this is the first time I try to scan an object. I've tried several times in different ways to create the dense point cloud but it wasn't possible. One time I tried and I waited 27 hours, so last time I've converted the images to JPEG and reduced the size of the photos to approximately 1400x900 pixels. I've taken photos from 5 different angles. The first steps seem to work fine, even the sparse point cloud looks good and without gaps, until I create the dense point cloud: The photos appear on the inside of the 3D model and as you can see in the photos, it has many incomplete areas.

I'd really appreciate any help. Thank you in advance.
