Missing Hemisphere Feature
« on: February 14, 2022, 01:10:00 AM »
Hello all,

I have been trying to scan in a buoy for a research project using Agisoft Metashape. I took two sets of pictures and am processing them in different chunks. The top half of the buoy has good features, and scans in fine. Then, I inverted the buoy and photographed the bottom of the buoy (which is now facing upward). When a point cloud is generated, the buoy is almost completely missing. The hemispherical shape and related features are completely missing.

After having this problem for the first time, I retook all of the photos and added markers around the model. These markers came in fine, but the bottom of the buoy is still missing. I am using a high quality camera and a fair amount of photos (54, I think).

Any thoughts? I've included pictures of the actual buoy bottom as well as the terribly inaccurate dense point cloud.
In the end, I need to use this to create a surrogate buoy, so the cleaner the model the better.

This is one of the worst objects you can choose.
It is reflective and "contourless". If it's just about the shape, spray or "sprinkle" the whole thing with a matte paint.
