removeSpikes filter question

Hi Guys,

I’m, trying to batch process a couple of scans, mostly translations/rotations, but figured it’d be handy to run a filter or two as well, as in my case I sadly have to work with compressed lowres input images to generate the scans, so they are pretty noisy.

I figured it’d be really handy in general, for optical flow for example, to run a filter on the scans. I tried using removeSpikes with various settings from 1-100 but the results seem very subtle. It’d be really great if my scans were 95% there, and generally of a good quality, but in my case I’d need something more aggressive. Is there a filter that’d do that (like a 3DsmartBlur), or a way to increase the removeSpikes to a value of 10000? :slight_smile:

I know it’s not an ideal starting point, but in my case, depending on the client, I’m often working with either a head camera setup (4-8 small cameras mounted onto a helmet, filming the actors face), a fixed camera stage setup with cameras arranged for different purposes like stereo pairs for example, or vendor data which is downressed or compressed - so the scan data I get out of these, even with reconstructed marker alignment and all that trickery, is far from perfect a lot of times.

Thanks,

Dan

Hey Dan,

Sorry for a very late response.

You’re right, the RemoveSpikes doesn’t work well. I think we can fix that and make it work more aggressively. I’ve added that to the roadmap!
