Building Dense Cloud Results in Small Area From Sparse Cloud

[callahb]

My model has 707 images taken from a slow moving vehicle. All cameras aligned and my sparse cloud has 273367 points. I've run the Optimize Alignment tool. When I build the dense cloud, I only get a tiny area of dense points out of the whole sparse model's area.

I've attached screen shots of the Sparse cloud w/cameras, and the Dense cloud.

I noticed in the console window a whole bunch of lines "skipping pair: camera visibility test" I don't know what that is telling me. Can anyone give me some clues as to what I should look for or what the problem may be with the dense point construction?

Version 1.0.4 build 1847 (64-bit)

Hello callahb,

It's a problem of "corridor shooting" scenario. You can try building dense cloud in version 1.1 pre-release, as this limit has been removed from new version.

Thanks Alexey, I'll give it a try.

I'm using the demo right now, will I need to request a new key after installing the Pre-Release?

Hello callahb,

If you are using the same computer for pre-release version, there's no need to request another Trial key.

That did it and the result is great.
