Hello Sir I want to know the exact effect of --depth on the out put reconstruction and how the mechanism work. i mean is the lower the voxel rez the less point you take into consideration when reconstructing a surface ?

Than you

Not really. The code takes all the points into consideration.

However, even before setting up the system, the code needs to estimate the sampling density around each sample. This tells the code which depth a samples "wants" to be reconstructed at.

Once this is done the linear system is constructed by having each sample contribute the minimum of the prescribed depth and its estimated depth.

Thus, you could have a situation where you prescribe a depth of 10, but due to the sparsity of the points you end up creating a system that is only depth 8.
