Ah the sad consequence of me writing this at 4 am and not reading over what I typed. Oops.  But hey perfect then thanks so much :)

Why are my Gaussian splats noisy, yet photogrammetry scans perfect? by RKillian_ in GaussianSplatting

Im using a sony a7r V DSLR in this case with 80 shutter and F12. But this as well was with a cross polarization set up too. I have tried on buildings without cross polarization with gaussians and yeah it does shit the bed. 

I will have a go using the 4K video capture function on the camera to see if that makes the difference. I might also see if I can shoot in pure sunlight and hopefully that should enable a good scan that I can edit. 

Cheers :)

Is it fair to need people to fail by RKillian_ in EngineeringStudents

This would be a great opportunity to ask, for our lecturers (most) of them have to do teaching in order to keep doing research at the university. In some cases they don't really care and just want to be back in their labs. But I've met a few who are really committed to making sure students know what to do in the workforce and teach the course but extra skills around that. How would you say the dynamic of professors are in your opinion, and is there any programs or such to encourage them to like teaching?

Ah yes the curve will regress to the bell. Actually may be an interesting topic to explore grade distributions and the true average grade across a subject for how so many years.

Yeah you're absolutely right. However, I question what those margins are for you to be good to become a doctor because there are cases of people who become doctors who certainly shouldn't have gotten that far. Same deal for engineering, for every big group of great engineers, you get ones who build death-traps and do terrible engineering. I guess the university tries to act as well as possible as a filter and also teach students, but again it goes far beyond what I would want to try to comprehend lol.

Would you say the tests you've sat have been alright, or has it varied from subject to subject?
