Sun Ribbon

Abstract: The initial photogrammetry of this object was very noisy as photo alignment was not perfect. The main culprit was non-ideal visual features due to high reflectivity and the harsh sunlight combined with a generally flat and featureless surface of the object.

The initial pathing for this object could not capture all the necessary aspects to form a complete model.

Key Problems:
