General / Re: Orthophotos incorrectly projected
« on: January 15, 2020, 12:51:09 PM »
I found the problem. I had set the errors for the GCPs incorrectly. Resetting them solved the problem.

General / Orthophotos incorrectly projected
« on: January 15, 2020, 11:48:00 AM »
I have done two ortho flying session with minimal setup of 4 GCP over a relatively small area (core area of interest 30mx30m). I used a Mavic Pro with a mounted Parrot Sequoia for multispec and the internal camera for RGB. Processing in Metashape 1.6 worked fine and the GCPs are where they should be on both orthos. However, when I export the tifs and open them in ArcGIS, the GCP don't match the locations on the orthos anymore. It looks as if the scale of the images is completely off. Has anybody got an idea of what is going on here and how to rectify the issue?

General / Multi-camera system option not showing
« on: January 13, 2020, 01:57:56 PM »
Metashape 1.6 Mac, import Sequioa UAV survey. When importing images from folder or folder directly, I can only choose a single camera or dynamic scene in the 'select data layout' dialogue. This does not happen under version 1.5.5 where I can select 'mullti-camera system' for the exact same data set. How can I overcome this issue?

General / tiled model creation stuck: tex.dat file missing
« on: March 06, 2019, 04:31:34 PM »
I have been cluster processing a rather large model into a tiled model. The process is in its final 10% and I am now getting the error that a specific file (tex18.dat) is missing. I manually browsed to the location and indeed, the file is not there. Going back through the work log I can see that the file in question was successfully created and saved. All other files are also present. The files <images 18.zip> and block18.zip are also present. I would hate to cancel the process after more than 24 hours of processing and so close to completion. What went wrong and how is it possible that a file simply goes missing? Is there any way to salvage this? Processing is currently stuck in a loop because of the missing file.

General / Network cluster machine running slow
« on: February 27, 2019, 07:14:50 PM »
I am running Network with two machines, an Alienware Aurora (GTX 1080, i7-7700K, 32GB RAM) and a Mac Pro 2013 (6 Core Xeon E5, Dual Radeon FireProD500, 48GB RAM). The Aurora is acting as a server, client and node while the Mac Pro solely acts as a node. The machines are currently aligning the cameras of a project of some 6300 photos and c. 50GCP. Accuracy is set to highest.
The Mac Pro is using its 2 AMD Radeon to full capacity whilst the CPU is hardly doing anything. RAM use is at c. 25%.
The Aurora uses 5% of its GPU and 14% CPU, RAM use is at 50%.
Processing is running now at 41.9% after just over 26 hours.
Why is the Aurora a) not using all its RAM to feed the GPU/CPU and b) why is it only using so little of its processing power?

It's actually working now. Opening the file on the client through the network path was the bit I missed. Thanks!

Feature Requests / Save GUI settings
« on: February 22, 2019, 11:44:56 AM »
How about making Metashape save specific settings such as the arrangement of columns in the Reference and Workspace panels. Every time I open pop a project to add GCP I have to re-arrange the panes to see projections and error columns.
Make networking of computers more intuitive maybe by adding a GUI to set it up and run server and nodes from within the GUI app.

OK, I have tried so many different settings, I think I need very specific instruction because I'm sure, I'm entering a setting wrongly somewhere along the way..
Here is what I have done:
The project is stored on an external HDD, connected to the Aurora as drive E:\ on a USB-C port, The project folder, ie --root lives right on the first level of the disk. The network path to it is (according to Windows file sharing): \\Aurora\Project_File\ProjectFile
The network path to which my Mac connects to the project folder is (according to Terminal df command): //USERNAME@Aurora/Project_File
IP Aurora: 192.168.2.31
Mac: 192.168.2.1
The machines are connected via WIFI with the Mac acting as a router (Internet sharing). The Aurora Project folder is mounted as a network drive on the Mac's desktop and all files are fully accessible.
My Metashape configurations are as follows:
Server (Aurora):
metashape --server --control 192.168.2.31:5840 --dispatch 192.168.2.31:5841
GUI Client:
Host Name: 192.168.2.31
Root: \\Aurora\Project_File
Node (Aurora):
metashape --node --dispatch 192.168.2.31:5841 --capability {gpu}
Node (Mac):
/Applications/MetashapePro.app/Contents/MacOS/MetashapePro --node --capability{gpu} --dispatch 192.168.2.31:5841 --root <? ? ?>
I used to state the root on the Aurora Node but it didn't make a difference for connectivity of either nodes, so I excluded it to rule out any potential interference with the Mac Node.
Communication between Client, Server and Aurora Node works just fine. The Mac is accepted into the network but as soon as a task is assigned to it I get the following error:
Can't open file: no such file or directory (2): /[whatever I put in as root on the Mac Node]/E:Project_File/Landscape Final.psx
When I state [whatever I put in as root on the Mac Node] then that's exactly what I mean. I tried any kind of path smb prefix, the path from terminal, the path from Windows, the path Metashape assigns. The same error occurs every single time.
At this point I really need someone to tell me the exact string I have to put into the --root variable for every single instance of Metashape on both machines.

It seems that the problem is that on the windows side the server points to --root E:/[directory path] and sends that to the nodes. The windows node has no problem with this but MacOS doesn't recognise E:/ as a drive name. Rather than consolidating the root paths MacOS seems to append the two.

Yes, all done. Shared folder is mounted and I can open the contents in Finder. I tried countless combinations to point to the root folder but somehow either the server or the client adds the local path beginning with E:/ to whatever I put in the --root command in the Terminal app under OSX.

Hi,
I am trying to Network to machines, an Alienware Aurora and a Mac Pro for some cluster processing. The Aurora is acting as a server, client and node while the Mac Pro solely acts as a node. I used the very basic parameters to configure the network, only specifying the --root in the nodes and client. The root folder is an external HDD E:/[directory].
I can process data through the Alienware node but cannot get the Mac Pro to point to the correct -root. Whatever path I put in, I get the 'No such file or directory' error with the specified path appended with the E:/[directory]. What am I doing wrong?

General / Re: Missing image path after changing platform
« on: February 18, 2019, 01:01:41 PM »Hello T.Kahlert,
Do the image files extensions remain the same (no uppercase to lowercase change, for example)? Were the paths in the project stored as absolute?
Can you send chunk.zip and frame.zip from the project folder contents to support@agisoft.com and the screenshots of the folder contents with the images with the full file names visible with the extensions?
File extensions are identical, so no confusion between caps and non-caps. File paths are not stored as absolutes. The photos are exactly at the location that the photo-info dialogue shows, yet MS cannot load the image. When I re-load the image the path has not changed but the image now loads correctly. Bulk-changing the images paths does not work. No matter what options I select, MS will only ever change the path for the image from which I opened the context menu.
I send you requested data to the support email.

General / Missing image path after changing platform
« on: February 14, 2019, 05:51:54 PM »
Hi,
I have a fairly large project (6000+ images, 150GCP) that somewhat outgrew my MacPro. I copied the project to a Windows formatted external HD (E:\) (E:\Project/images/subfolder/imagexyz.jpg). When I opened the project on the new Windows machine for the first time, I had to change the paths to the images' new location on the external drive which worked fine in most instances. However, some images were not located by Metashape, even though they are in exactly the same location where MS says they are not. So when I redefined the path I pointed MS to the same location again. Worse, when I try to redefine the path for multiple images, MS doesn't automatically recognise the primary image and I have to change and only manages to relink the primary image and ignores all selected subsequent images, even if they are in the same folder. This only happens to a series on images that are store in 2 different sub folders. However, changing their location does not help. I cannot afford to re-load the images, re-tag them and run the entire model again.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
