General / CPU multi-core questions

« on: May 30, 2018, 04:33:00 PM »

Hi,

I'm trying to debug some performance issues between different nodes. I'm seeing the camera alignment phase of the Align Photos step only using 1 CPU core (i.e. no mult-threaded and/or GPU computations). It this expected behaviour? I can't seem to find any documentation on this topic. This is with 1.4.2 Pro under Linux.

Secondly, are there any performance limitations in demo mode? Due to having only a single professional license I am running one test in activated mode on one node and another in demo mode on a different node.

Regards,
Paul

General / License no longer usable?

« on: May 11, 2018, 12:35:04 PM »

Hi,

It has been a while since I last used our copy of PhotoScan Pro. On the host where it is installed I now get the error "Wrong host for license (-4)". When I try to reactivate using the license code I have I get the error "Activation key is already in use". I've tried looking on other hosts where we have run PhotoScan in the past, but I don't see any activated copies there.  How do I get out of this situation? Is there any way to tell from the license file or license code on which host it was last active (so I can deactivate it there)?

Regards,
Paul

Bug Reports / TIF file doesn't open correctly

« on: January 11, 2017, 12:01:38 PM »

I converted a movie to individual .tif frames, using ffmpeg (ffmpeg -i <movie> -vf fps=1 frames%04d.tif). The resulting tif files are not correctly read by PhotoScan Pro, even though they open fine in GIMP and tools like tiffinfo. Once loaded in Photoscan the images show a corrupt image, in grey scale. On the console warnings of the form "PackBitsDecode: Not enough data for scanline 193." are displayed.

I can provide an showing the problem.
