Coverage

Coverage of your asset is extremely important, please read through the full documentation.

For Marso Measure to work properly, it is important to have good coverage. This means capturing enough perspectives of the object from directly above as well as below.

This may require more photography than previously required for basic photogrammetry.

Camera Position Examples

We have a dedicated Sketchfab page to show example camera positions for scans we have completed internally, you can view this page here.

Following these examples when capturing your datasets will improve results.

Examples of Camera Coverage

Perfect Coverage

Okay Coverage

Bad Coverage

Red = Areas the cameras cannot see.

Perfect Coverage Map

Bad Coverage Map

Overshooting on the rotation will not compensate for missing positions at the top and bottom.

It is recommended to have a spacing of at most 12° in each axis (30 positions to do a full 360° capture).

The spacing in each axis does not have to be equal to one another - e.g.: a latitude spacing of 10° with a longitude spacing of 5° will work well. However, a latitude spacing of 50° and a longitude of 5° will not - as this is above our maximum recommended spacing.
