If a project consists of images that are covered by a consistent obstacle, e.g. the foot of the drone, the model might be noisy. If some images of a project are covered by an obstacle seen by different angles, e.g. a scaffold, the obstacle will appear in the point cloud, the 3D textured mesh and the orthomosaic. In both cases it is possible to annotate the obstacle to not take it into account for processing so as to remove the noise introduced or totally remove it from the results.
To remove a consistent obstacle from the results:
1. Click View > rayCloud.
2. In the section Layers of the left sidebar, select one image to be annotated.
3. In the right sidebar, click the Annotation tool button .
4. In Annotate, select Global Mask.
5. Annotate the obstacle in the image, following How to Annotate Images in the rayCloud (steps 7-13).
6. Make sure that the Use Annotation box is selected in the Processing Options: How to Annotate Images in the rayCloud (step 14).
7. Process step 2. Point Cloud and Mesh.
To remove an obstacle that appears in some images from the results:
1. Click View > rayCloud.
2. In the section Layers of the left sidebar, select one image that the obstacle appears to be annotated.
3. In the right sidebar, click the Annotation tool button .
4. In Annotate, select Mask.
5. Annotate the obstacle in the image, following How to Annotate Images in the rayCloud (steps 7-13).
6. Repeat steps 2-5 till the obstacle is annotated in all the images that it appears.
7. Make sure that the Use Annotation box is selected in the Processing Options: How to Annotate Images in the rayCloud (step 14).
8. Process step 2. Point Cloud and Mesh.
