So I am guessing I should use a laser scan ( Leica BLK360 ) to help with my cluttered room with low light and windows and also capture the same room with my lumix gh4 to get the best quality and detail i can. Just using the lumix or my iphone photos has trouble with the white walls and ceilings as well as the windows. Looking for some guidance. Thanks
Hi!
Yes, combining a BLK360 scan with good-quality photos is generally the best workflow for this kind of space. The scan provides solid geometry, and the images add detail and texture.
That said, lighting is still key. Even with a laser scan, images need to be well-exposed and sharp to align properly. Using manual settings, a tripod, good overlap, and improving interior lighting (or reducing bright window contrast) will make a big difference.
Also, make sure enough scan positions are used to properly cover the cluttered areas.
With good lighting and proper capture technique, results should improve significantly
Cheers
