Point cloud visibility filter issue
Hi,
I noticed there could be a problem in the point cloud visibility filter. The problem is described https://github.com/OpenDroneMap/ODM/issues/1785. I believe the current algorithm cannot handle well for the case like the red shot in the below image, where closer points will occlude further points and leads to unpredictable results in the algorithm. I think introducing normal into consideration could help resolving this problem, I tried to ignore the points that have large angle compared to the shot view direction (smaller than 100° for example) which works for solving the issue in my dataset.
Thx for posting this issue. Pls clarify which is the filtering algorithm you are referring to? Point me to the function or command in OpenMVS
The command is shown below(example), it's executed right after the dense point cloud reconstruction(example)
DensifyPointCloud --filter-point-cloud -20 -i <mvs file>.mvs
Function https://github.com/cdcseacave/openMVS/blob/ce03889e2055a3d6cbcae9dd5a93b5eeea94b909/libs/MVS/SceneDensify.cpp#L2225-L2359
