Trees details

Hello guys, I’m new to Pix4d and also to photogrammetry.

I’m trying to create a model using 111 phantom 3 pictures at 50 meters (nadir). I’ve created without GCP but my next step is to input them. Even so I was very happy with the model results.

But I’m getting some tree details problems. I choose the default parameters in my first run then changed to the higher parameters in the second run and the tree canopy are not getting better.

At same time I’ve tried to model with Autodesk Recap and the results are different. I can’t tell with software got the best results (I didn’t compare the DSM) but the trees details seem more elaborated.

What can I do to improve the model resolution?

Thanks a lot,

Diego Álvares

From what I know of also attempting to incorporate trees, there is not really a good way to do it. Trees have a great deal of irregularity in the position of the branches and leaves, but the leaves and branches look to be the same shape and color from a great distance away. The way that we got the best resolution was to fly close to the trees (<3 meters) and to have a large overlap between the images (90% or so). It was also a sunny day with no wind, so that was very much in our favor.
