Disable mesh interpolation from laser scan point cloud
« on: December 06, 2023, 07:17:21 PM »
Hi All,

I am building a mesh from an imported PTS file captured with a TLS

Curiously, I get interpolation in the mesh even when interpolation is Disabled.
So the result is exactly the same whether interpolation is Enabled or Disabled.

Is there another setting somewhere to ensure that no interpolation is used to build the mesh?

Thanks

Version 2.0.3 Build 16960

I'm going to try PTX files with the separate scans (setups) instead of PTS.  It appears Metashape does not recognize multiple scans (setups) that are contained within a single PTX file.
We'll see how that goes and report back.

Using separate scan point clouds did not improve the overall results compared to a the combined version I used previously.
Interpolation set to "Disabled" results in an interpolated mesh so it appears unrelated to the point cloud(s).
