Description
I noted this problem when using OpenDroneMap. See https://github.com/OpenDroneMap/OpenDroneMap/issues/750 .
I have some examples of points clouds generated with drones imagery from the company I work in:


We want to offer our services to road building companies, and the absence of the asphault is going to be a major problem...
Is there any trick I can try to tweak OpenSfM parameters to deal better with roads?
Thanks in advance.

Research direction
Start with the linked OpenDroneMap issue #750 and the reported drone-imagery examples to understand the missing-road-points behavior. Then inspect OpenSfM's available parameters and determine whether the issue can be reproduced or addressed through configuration. Done means identifying a reproducible cause and a validated parameter change, or documenting that configuration alone cannot resolve it.
