Quality & Triage
Quality & Triage
SplatKing assesses each capture as you go, so you can catch weak data before you spend time reconstructing it.
The session summary
When you stop a capture, a summary appears — it reflects how the session went and gives you the actions to share or open the result. For LiDAR, it also reports the COLMAP export outcome.
Per-frame quality
Each captured frame carries a quality assessment — a score and a band, drawn from motion and blur analysis at capture time. Tap a band to see what it means.
GoodSharp, well-exposed, low motion.Keep — ideal reconstruction input.
Read bands in contextQuality is relative to conditions. A capture in a genuinely difficult environment (low light, fast motion) will show more weak frames even when you captured well — read the bands in context, not as a pass/fail grade.
LiDAR: the COLMAP export outcome
For LiDAR sessions, the summary reports what happened with the on-device COLMAP export:
COLMAP export: written (N images, M points)Success. The COLMAP_Text_Model/ is ready to use.
COLMAP export: skipped — fewer than 3 tracked framesNot enough cleanly-tracked frames. Move more / improve lighting and re-capture.
COLMAP export: skipped — verification failed / system errorA write or integrity problem. Re-capture; if it persists, report it.
The export is fail-closed: you either get a complete, verified model, or none — never a partial one.
Triage workflow
1Glance at the session summary right after capture — re-shoot then if it looks weak, while you’re still on-site.
2Before reconstruction, filter out Poor frames using the per-frame metadata.
3For LiDAR, confirm the summary reported a written COLMAP model.
