Refine Cloud
Drop sparse points whose reprojection error is too high.
Filters the sparse cloud by per-point reprojection error. Auto Track in, Auto Track
out, so it sits between a solve and whatever comes next.
Max Error (px)
Points whose reprojection error exceeds this many pixels are dropped when the cloud is imported. Default is 1.0. Lower is stricter: fewer points, but cleaner ones.
Press Analyze to see how many points survive a given threshold before committing.
When To Use It
Before Densify, because fewer bad points going in means fewer bad points out and a faster run.
Before Output 3D, when you want a tidy cloud in your scene rather than every point the solver produced.
Note that this filters the cloud, not the solve. The camera motion is unchanged. To actually improve a solve, use Enhance Auto Track.
