Abstract: The initial photogrammetry of this object was very noisy as photo alignment was not perfect. The main culprit was non-ideal visual features due to high reflectivity and the harsh sunlight combined with a generally flat and featureless surface of the object.
The initial pathing for this object could not capture all the necessary aspects to form a complete model.
Key Problems:
Benchmark Category | General Aspect | Subject-Specific Problem |
Geometry | Detail | Very thin |
Visual Features | Lack of features | Smooth, shiny, dark object |
Environment | Ease of Photography | Limited space |
| Lighting | Harsh lighting - bad contrast |
Additional Techniques Used:
- Different Time of Day
- Adjusted Pathing
- Markers on Subject

Abstract: Nature is notorious in 3D scanning as its features are not easily distinguishable, making scan alignment a hurdle in this project.
