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.
