Bug Reports / Radeon Pro not being used for GPU calculations on photo alignment

« on: April 28, 2017, 09:42:29 PM »

Testing out a new Precision 5720 with an integrated Radeon Pro WX7100, the dense point calculation uses the GPU all the way through, but during the alignment phase, none of the images are flagged as [GPU], compared to when I've run it on other systems.
In the GPU configuration tab (I'm running the latest build of PS Standard), the chip identifies by the codename, Ellesmere, rather than the retail part number.

Feature Requests / Bracketed exposures and HDR

« on: April 15, 2016, 03:20:29 PM »

I just tested a workflow that is cumbersome, but useful: Shoot bracketed (0, -2EV, +2EV) exposures, merge to 32-bit HDR, save as OpenEXR, process in PhotoScan. It gives some good results, but the work for a large dataset is prohibitive.

Would it be possible to add functionality to:

1) Analyze the photo capture time/exposure/filename in the EXIF data, and then bracket stacked exposures
- I see this working as a separate option pre-alignment, that works in combination with the existing photo analysis tool. First the quality of the exposures are checked, and then the stack is checked for alignment, and then a score is produced for the stack.

2) Automatically stack the bracket into a 32-bit OpenEXR for point cloud analysis.

This would be extremely helpful for creating interactive 3D environments, such as in a game engine.

Thanks!
