DSM artefacts #380

Closed rion-saeon closed 6 years ago

rion-saeon commented 8 years ago

Hi,

I don't know whether it's QGIS but, when creating a DSM with las2dem (LAStools: https://rapidlasso.com/lastools/) and using ODM's ply.las products the following artefacts can be seen. This issues has been noticed before but, doesn't show on all generated DSMs:

capture

Any ideas?

(PS apart from the artefacts the result is impressive)

dakotabenjamin commented 8 years ago

I've not used las2dem, can you explain the artefacts to me? Are they the little blue lines?

rion-saeon commented 8 years ago

Correct, small blue lines. I've been using LAStools constantly. The only thing that changed was ODM.

I tried this: las2dem -i odm_georeferenced_model.ply.las -o dem1.tif

and got: las2dem-ex

Thanks,

something quickly off topic...it seems your step size remained at 1.0. Changing to 0.01 produces a much finer DSM.

Any way, I don't find the artefact problem with all DSMs but, will try your command line paras'.

@rionlerm -- are you using a licensed lastools? If not, it will introduce regular artifacts like this.

rion-saeon commented 8 years ago

Hello @smathermather ,

I don't use a licensed version but, these artefacts are NOT regular. Most of the DSMs I generate with LAStools show none.

smathermather commented 8 years ago

I don't think it does it every time... . You might try doing it in https://PDAL.io and see if you get the same artifacts.
