The author only used the\u00a0medium<\/strong>\u00a0accuracy setting to process the dataset to enable a faster showcase of the process, yet one can also visit this video to look at a high accuracy result of the 3D model:\u00a0https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=iN1LkF1y6s4<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n The dataset used in this article\/tutorial video is a series of photos of the Qing Yang Si Ku Si Cave No.165. The images are captured by a reseller and user of Weiss AG. This article will only cover the process of processing images from Civetta only, a combination method of using both Civetta and a DSLR camera will be covered in the future article\/tutorial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Civetta is provided as a standardised procedure for any user with or without a photogrammetry background. Civetta is controlled by a touch-screen remote controller, the user only need to click \u201cstart\u201d and the Civetta will automatically turn 360\u00b0 to capture HDR panorama images. The default setting suits for most of the situations, including in extreme environment, therefore, the user do not need to adjust any setting in the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The capturing process can be watched in here: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=RhPJM_wlByc&t=5s<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Civetta will first capture and save images from different exposures as CR2 files. One can use software like ENFUSEGUI to convert these images into tiff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n User can drag images into a chuck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once the images are imported, the user should choose \u201ctool -> camera calibration -> select \u201cfisheye\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Do not forget to save the setting after you change the camera calibration setting from the default \u201cframe\u201d to \u201cfisheye\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Select one image, and choose the selection tool, right-click, then select the scissor option, which gives you more flexibility in selecting the area to keep or discard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After you circle the area to keep, you might realise the area are inverted, you need to make sure the area to keep is bright and the area to ignore is dark. You can right-click the selected area and choose \u201cinvert mask\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then you can save your work, and right-click the images, choose \u201cexport mask\u201d. You need to remember where you saved the mask file and the file name. Then you select the rest of the images in the chuck, right-click \u201cimport mask\u201d. Make sure you have copy-and-paste the right file name into the setting before import and make sure you are pointing at the right folder\/destination when the window pops up after you click \u201cOK\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the top bar, choose \u201cworkflow -> Align Photos\u201d. There is an option to select the level of accuracy, the user should adjust it based on its hardware limitations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the top bar, choose \u201cworkflow -> Build Dense Cloud\u201d. There is an option to select the level of accuracy, the user should adjust it based on its hardware limitations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the top bar, choose \u201cworkflow -> Build Mesh\u201d. There is an option to select the level of accuracy, the user should adjust it based on its hardware limitations. One should also check its computer memory to make sure the computer has enough memory to process this step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the top bar, choose \u201cworkflow -> Build Texture\u201d.
