Bounding Box

The bounding box is the area that Scanifly will attempt to recreate during 3D model processing. Ideally, the bounding box should be placed within the yellow flight path dots, since photos are generally taken looking at a central point.

The bounding box does not need to include all of the photo locations. The goal of the bounding box is to define the area that you want to reconstruct. It is best to make sure your entire site and surrounding shading obstructions are reconstructed, to make sure you get the most out of your Scanifly model.

setting bounding box

What should you consider when creating your bounding box?

  1. Project Type - If you select a Large bounding box and only have small projects in your subscription, Scanifly will use an amount of small projects of equivalent value from your project count
  2. Shape of Model Area - Bounding Boxes can be shrunk, expanded, rotated and resized in order to make the box more rectangular if needed
  3. Trees and other obstructions - Bounding Boxes should include trees or other obstructions that are captured with drone imagery, especially if they could be shading factors that will impact the system's performance
