Bug Reports / Re: 1.7.3 – Crash on M1 Mac when building mesh from depth maps

« on: May 31, 2021, 03:06:18 PM »

On a side note to this topic, I'm wondering how you've found the M1 Mac to be performance-wise with Metashape.  Does running in Rosetta cause it to perform slower than an older Intel Mac or does it still go faster despite Rosetta?

I did the test with some test data from Dr. Peter L. Falkingham (Styracosaurus (53 photos): https://1drv.ms/u/s!Am5GkbZS_98XqJcY7pZBjtpooG3AGQ)

I ran it on both machines with same batch settings: 1. Align Photos (high) -> 2. Build Dense Cloud (medium) -> 3. Build Mesh (from depth maps) (medium) -> 4. Build Texture

First I ran it on a Mac Mini 2018 with 6-core i7 with 32GB. It took 10 min., all physical cores ran at 100% but not all HT cores. The sound of this little machine was like drying my hair ;-)

Second start was on the new M1 Mac Mini with 16GB. That took 8:30 min., all cores ran at 100% and the Mac was total quiet.

We have just updated the installers on our web site with a fix included, please download the updated version (the build number didn’t change):

We are very sorry for inconvenience. Please let us know if everything is working fine now.

Hi,

no need for excuses - errors happen when work is done...

The new version works as expected and the results are really great.
Many thanks for this fast support!

Bug Reports / 1.7.3 – Crash on M1 Mac when building mesh from depth maps

« on: May 20, 2021, 07:29:37 PM »

Hi there,

I'm very new to Metshape and I'm experiment a lot :-)

After a hint on Peter Falkinghams' site (https://peterfalkingham.com/2019/06/27/photogrammetry-testing-agisoft-metashape-commercial-software/) I tried to build the mesh from depth maps and the program crashes reproducible.

My first thought was that it's a M1 Mac problem but after a while I tried v1.5.5 and v1.6.6 and both worked well with the same batch process (Align Photos -> Build Dense Cloud -> Build Mesh (from depth maps) -> Build Texture)

So no problem for now since I have two working older versions but to keep an eye on this...
