How to avoid filling of small gaps?

[jupp2000]

Is there a setting in the mesh construction, where i can define to "ignore" the gap filling?

Best regards
Stephan?

Hi jupp2000

I recommend that you take more photos closer to the problematic area - Any surface which isn't seen by at least 3 cameras is likely to have missing information which will leave either a hole, or be replaced with interpolated geometry when processed as a mesh.

You can also change the 'Watertightness' setting in the mesh creation setup - The lower the % the more holes you will have, and as a result, less interpolated geometry.

As always it's best to try and fix your image acquisition rather than changing processing settings to solve the issue.

Hope this helps! Let us know how you go :-)

Hi again jupp2000

Yes! If you have most of your cameras covering one area the results will likely be worse than an even distribution of camera coverage. Areas which are recessed (holes etc..) naturally get less coverage, so they need a bit more attention and usually require more photos.

The gap gets filled because the points either side are just close enough that they bridge together. If you reduce the watertightness these bridges are less likely to happen.

Thanks again!
I will try to find the "sweet spot" for the watertightness first, before i take more photos.
Unfortunately you can not define which area exact should be closed if you "fill holes selective".
Than it would be easy to mark the gap- triangles,delete them and fill only the walls of each socket.
