Odm: odm_cleanmesh

[KeoChi]

Hello! In screened_poisson_reconstruction, after doing poisson_recon, it would do odm_cleanmesh. I don't understanding principle and purpose of odm_cleanmesh. Who can explain? Do you have relevant information or papers?

[pierotofy]

odm_cleanmesh serves two purposes:

• Decimate the number of faces in a mesh (keep triangle count under control)
• Remove "islands" (or isolated/floating components, e.g. components that are not connected to the main surface).

No papers, we kind of just did it on our own :)

p.s. next time let's open a question on the forum https://community.opendronemap.org instead.

OK. Thank you for your reply!
