Coverage

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

For Marso 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.

Examples of Camera Coverage

Red = Areas the cameras cannot see.

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.
