Why do some points misalign or fail to auto-align in a project with the G1?

When capturing with the G1 device, each scan records spatial data from its current position and appears as a “point” in the 3D Virtual Tour.

Auto-alignment refers to the algorithm that automatically stitches these points together based on the overlapping views between them.

Here are common reasons why Auto-Alignment might fail, along with recommended solutions:

🔹 1. Points are placed too far apart

If adjacent points are placed too far apart, there may be insufficient overlap in visual data to allow for automatic alignment.

Solution: Place points closer together (recommended: 1.5–2 meters apart) to ensure adequate overlapping views between scans.

🔹 2. Obstructed or disconnected views between points

Obstacles such as walls or partitions can prevent shared visual coverage between points, even if the distance is reasonable.

Solution: Ensure a clear line of sight between adjacent points to improve alignment accuracy.

🔹 3. Highly repetitive or low-feature environments

In areas like empty hallways or identical rooms, lack of distinctive features can cause the algorithm to fail in finding matching points.

Solution: Use the manual alignment tool in the Realsee App to fine-tune the alignment manually.

🔹 4. Scene exceeds G1’s capture limitations

Certain environments are not suitable for the G1 due to its capabilities:

• Large-scale spaces (e.g., warehouses, factories, large open halls) are not recommended.
• Outdoor environments are not supported.
• Low-light or dim spaces may result in poor image quality and failed alignment.

Solution:
If you need to capture outdoor areas or large-scale indoor environments, we recommend upgrading to Galois, a professional-grade device designed for complex or expansive scenes.

✅ Pro Tip:

Before capturing, assess the environment for lighting, layout, and size to ensure it's within G1’s optimal performance range.
