Agisoft Viewer / 3D Models in Agisoft Viewer preferably Georeferenced

« on: June 30, 2023, 11:16:42 AM »

Hi

Currently we are supplying our clients with volumetric drawings for things like stockpiles etc. The drawings serve their purpose but do not really advertise what we are doing with point clouds and 3D models.

I'm trying to find a way to supply them with the ability to view and interact with the 3D models we can create. This would give them extra utility and provide additional eye candy that may help secure additional work.

I thought Agisoft Viewer would be perfect for this but haven't had success so far.

I have brought .tif files but these are obviously only 2.5D models and don't look great.

Ideally I would like to bring in a full 3D model.

If someone could let me know the best format and settings for model export that would be great.

Also if it could be in the correct position to our coordinate system that would be much better for us. I found a thread on here saying they solved the positioning exporting a tiled model but I could not get this to work.

Any help with the above would be greatly appreciated.

General / Re: Metashape Pro Local Network Licencing

Hi Alexey,

The current licence is still on the old machine. I installed Metashape using a trial licence on the new machine while I tested it just in case something like that happened.

Once the new machine is up and running I will then transfer the licence to the new machine.

However, my question was trying to ask for confirmation whether I am able to have the paid licence only on the new machine and use the old machine just to add additional processing power for projects on the new machine in a network processing setup.

I do not want to be able to edit or access the files via the old machine simply use its additional processing power to help speed up the processing of our projects.

Is this possible with only one paid licence? I think you might of said it is when you said "PhotoScan instance run in server mode only doesn't require the license  activation  - only processing nodes and client application run in GUI mode (to perform some changes to the project) require activation." all Im trying to confirm is that my understanding is correct and you can actually run additional computational nodes without the need for additional licences, you just dont get access to the GUI and therefore cant edit or access the files on the machines without licences just add processing power to your system via the network and all interaction with the project files are done on the licensed machine.


If this is possible I think that is a great feature of Agisoft that I will spend the time learning how to setup it up and utilise.

General / Metashape Pro Local Network Licencing

Hi

I am just waiting for some replacement parts to get our new processing computer up and running. Once the new machine going our old processing machine will not have much use.

I was wondering whether I can run the old machine just as a processing node without a licence. Its not worth us getting an additional licence for it but would be if I can use it to reduce processing time for free.

I had a quick look online and there was an old thread discussing it and from Alexys comment I think you can as he said

"PhotoScan instance run in server mode only doesn't require the license  activation  - only processing nodes and client application run in GUI mode (to perform some changes to the project) require activation."

He then referred people to the user manual which I downloaded the latest version and scanned through and didn't see anything confirming licencing.

Can someone please confirm if it is possible to set up a processing node without an additional licence with Metashape Pro v2.0 before I spend time trying to set it up.

Thanks

Hi,

Just to report back in case others have a similar issue. It does look like it was a RAM problem with the new processing machine. The inbuilt RAM test within Windows 11 did not pick up the errors as this was one of the first things I checked.

Running Memtest86+ picked up the problem and we are currently waiting for replacement parts.

Thanks for the help Alexey

I ran it yet again and this time it didn't Blue screen and it came up with an application error.

In the Event Viewer there were 2 error logs one Metashape and another MsMpEng.exe. I have included both in the attached .evtx as well as a screenshot of the error message and the log file created.

The Agisoft Log File is 2.7Mb so it wouldn't allow me to upload it here. I have already sent it to the support email at the same time I posted on the forum.

I tried to take a picture of the BSOD but I've only been present when it happened on the last occasion and it only stayed up up for a matter of seconds before the computer restarted so without sitting and watching the screen for approx. 1hr with my phone out ready I'm not going to be able to get a picture unless there is some way to retrieve it after the fact.

Bug Reports / Metashape Pro Crashing - Align Photos

« on: March 01, 2023, 02:54:55 PM »

Hi,

We have recently purchased a new processing PC and it is currently crashing every time I try to align the photos. This data set is running fine on our old processing PC but I am unable to get it to run on this much more powerful system.

I am currently running the software in the trial version on the new machine until I can get it working.

Below is the new machines specs

Windows 11 Home (x64) v22H2
Core i9-13900K
4090 RTX
128GB DDR4
Z690 Aorus Elite MB
2TB Samsung 980 Pro (C: Programme Drive)
4TB FireCuda Gen4 (Drone Processing)
1200w Corsair HX1200 80PLUS Platinum Power Supply

It completes the matching points phase of the process and fails/blue screens during the Estimating Camera Locations section.

The machine was built and stress tested by a professional company. I have also updated all the drivers to the latest available manufacturer recommended ones. I have also ran the the built in RAM test within windows.

I have tried running the process multiple times after; disabeling the XMP profile for the RAM and running the sticks at stock speed, disabling antivirus, disabling the on board graphics card, creating main/gpu_enable_cuda tweak parameter and creating --opengl angle command line parameter as per your recommendations in the help portal. Yet I still cant get the software to complete the task.

The Windows Event viewer isnt picking up anything regarding Metashape although when I first tried the system it logged some Application Hang logs which I will attach with the Agisoft Log.

If anyone has any possible solutions to the above problem I will be grateful to hear them.
