How to generate dense point clouds in Metashape

“

- [Tutor] So we've gone through several steps here in Metashape to take a set of photogrammetry photos, align them in space and adjust our bounding box. So we can tell the software which parts of those photos we're interested in further processing. So we've got all that progress saved in the exercise file sampleseto2stilllifebounds.psx which you can find in the exercise folder, Sample Set O2 Still Life. Now we're ready to move into the meshing stages of our workflow. And to the next step towards doing that is to calculate a dense point cloud. What this does essentially is calculate a more detailed version of our sparse point cloud and instead of depth maps for each one of our photographs, and we'll need that information later on when we go to actually build a mesh. So from our workflow menu, let's go ahead and select built dense cloud. Now we've got a few settings to look at here. Our quality is a little bit similar to…
