Masking out background detail

[loggie24]

Hi. I'm trying to reconstruct a trunk from around 70 photos i have taken. The issue i'm facing is that Photoscan picks up so much of tha background detail, so when i reconstruct my scene and make it a mesh there is practically no detail what so ever on the trunk.

I have tried removing all the point clouds around the trunk, but it still generates the surroundings when i make a mesh.

Any help would be appriciated.

You may try this:
Calculate photos orientations
Reduce and orient the bounding box so it encloses your trunk in the sparse cloud, then build dense cloud with lowest or low quality and mesh that cloud as arbitrary.
After that you can mask all photos by using this rough first approach. (mask import from model)
Then re-run dense cloud at higher specs
