Other Capture Considerations

Environmental and weather factors

Depending upon the environment you’re capturing and how the weather is there are a few key notes:

It is not recommended to capture in the rain as that will likely damage the camera.
Wet and shiny surfaces won’t reconstruct well. Be prepared for mirrored areas, pools of standing water, and glassy objects to be deformed in the final model
Clean featureless areas, such as painted walls, may also be deformed or not get reconstructed in the final model.
Dense vegetation, such as grasses and tree branches, will be poorly reconstructed in the model if there is much wind
When capturing dark areas, better results will be obtained by fitting a wide beam LED light to the camera.
