Is it necessary to make a Dense Cloud in Agisoft Photoscan? Does this help with anything? It sure does take a long time to process it.

Hello Darryncosta,

Dense cloud can serve as a source for more detailed mesh and DEM reconstruction (compares to sparse cloud based reconstruction). In the version 1.5.0, however, mesh generation operation may be based on the depth maps directly, thus the time consuming stage of the dense cloud filtering can be skipped.
