Sparse vs Dense dem orthomosaic
« on: October 10, 2018, 12:01:44 PM »
Hi:
I tried to build orthomosaic image on dem generated from sparse cloud and dense cloud.
Sparse dem is faster, but I am not quite sure which is better in terms of quality, because they look quite same, except details. 
Can someone kindly provide some theoretical suggestions?

You can find your answer in the Agisoft's Manual:

It is recommended to calculate DEM based on dense point cloud data. Preliminary elevation data
results can be generated from a sparse point cloud, avoiding Build Dense Cloud step for time limitation
reasons.
