Description:

Performs Dense Surface Modeling. Creates a PointMesh by scanning two photos using an input surface to define the approximate base surface.

Syntax:

"CreatePointMesh outMeshId inSurfaceId ph1 ph2 samplingInt depthAbove depthBelow"

where:

- outMeshId is an id number identifying the output PointMesh (error condition if id already exists)

- inSurfaceId is an id number identifying the Surface to use as approximate surface and extents. If inSurfaceId=-2 the extents are defined by DSM Masks; if inSurfaceId=-1 then the extents are defined by the whole photo and the approximate surface is the one created from existing points; if inSurfaceId=0 DSM Trims define the extents; if inSurfaceId>0, it corresponds to the ID of the existing surface of that ID to define the extents.

- ph1, ph2 are the id numbers of photos on which to execute scanning

- samplingInt is sampling interval in metres

- depthAbove, depthBelow define depth range above and below the identified surface in metres

Note that advanced parameters such as matching region size, texture type, down-sampling factor, etc. are set in the PhotoModeler preferences (ini) file in the new [DSM-DDE] section. See below. 

Return:

"1" if successful or "0" if this command failed. 

Example:

"CreatePointMesh 1 12 1 2 0.02 0.1 0.3”

return "1"
