+This script helps with OpenMVS scalable pipeline.
+
+Starting from a SfM solution stored into a MVS project accompanied by the undistorted images,
+the fist step is to compute all depth maps without fusion:
+
+DensifyPointCloud scene.mvs --fusion-mode 1
+
+Next split the scene in sub-scenes using the area parameter, which is related to the inverse of GSD;
+it is a bit non intuitive, but normally it should remain constant for a desired memory limit;
+for example you can use the bellow value to limit memory usage to ~16GB:
+
+DensifyPointCloud scene.mvs --sub-scene-area 660000
+
+disable depth-maps re-filtering by creating a file Densify.ini with just this line:
+
+Optimize = 0
+
+and call fusion on each of the sub-scenes like:
+
+DensifyPointCloud scene_0000.mvs --dense-config-file Densify.ini
+............
+DensifyPointCloud scene_000n.mvs --dense-config-file Densify.ini
+
+This script helps to automate the process of calling DensifyPointCloud/ReconstructMesh on all sub-scenes.
