My question is, why are you using 3 year old software? Updates are free.

You can add them and then export the estimate value, reimport as real values.
But why are you going to use them if they dont have values, then they serve no purpose anyways.

General / Re: Agisoft Metashape 2.2.0 pre-release
« on: January 13, 2025, 07:23:34 PM »This is not a powerful processing machine, no laptop is. You have bottle necks everywhere, Thermal, power, RAM, GPU.
I neglected to mention processor, of course that is relevant, perhaps the most relevant factor of all.
It is not entirely clear that the system is laptop unless the 13900hx is a mobile only version, or I missed where laptop is stated.
13900hx can only be found in laptops yes, its laptop CPU with very limited thermal room for processing.

General / Re: Agisoft Metashape 2.2.0 pre-release
« on: January 13, 2025, 02:22:02 PM »I have a project with about 7000 photos and 15 laser scans and the alignment process reached pretty fast at 70% but now it takes about 24 hours to move by 1%. It is at 74% now and by that speed it will take a month to finish. Is that normal? The CPU is maxed out most of the time as well as my ram (which unfortunately at the moment is only 32GB but I have a lot of SSD free space to work with virtual memory). Is this maybe a bug of the 2.2.0 version? or is my limited ram the reason for this extreme slow processing?
You need multiple SSDs for best results ... store source data, project files, and OS installation (startup drive) all on separate drives (three drives)
I don't see a way to specify a Temp directory for Metashape, presumably this is stored on the startup drive.
You also need more RAM than 32Gb, virtual memory is almost useless because it will cripple the speed, although separating source data, project files, and OS installation on separate drives might help. That way the system is not reading and writing to the same drive.
The video card is also relevant, ideally you would have an Nvidia card to support CUDA with at least 6 - 8Gb.
If you have less than 6Gb on your video card, or are using an integrated GPU, that will also translate to a reduction in processing speed.
I'm sorry to say if you you don't have slots to allow for 3 SSDs and cannot add more RAM, I think you you will have to suffer through it until you can get a new computer.
I have two fast nvme drives in my PC and I have set the virtual memory to be on the c drive and on the second d ssd drive which is a 2tb I only have this project. My PC is very powerfull with a 13900hx CPU and rtx 4090 16gb vram. At the moment I have 32gb ram but I have ordered a 2x48gb (96gb) and waiting for it to arrive, so at the moment I have to work with the 32gb. My question regarding if this is normal or not is because I see the CPU is almost always maxed out it doesn't wait for data to process from the disks. Now it has reached 75% from 70% after 3 days. My client is waiting for me to deliver some orthophtos and I don't even know to tell him approximately when it will be ready.. Every day it passes the estimate time raises.

Install Windows 11 with a tool like this, it gets rid of all the bloatware that comes with standard Windows 11 installation.

Why not use coordinate space? They have known values.

How fast is your CPU? This step you are talking about is driven by CPU. What are the specs?

General / Re: Thermal processing workflow for DJI-H20T
« on: December 14, 2024, 02:04:35 AM »Dear community,
are there any news regarding the possibility of processing thermal images from DJI drones with Metashape?
Some of my customers complain about that this is not possible any more.
It seems like DJI changed the export possibilities of their thermal images and now there is no radiometric data available in the pictures.
Third party software like Metashape is now kept out and only DJI Terra is working.
What is the current status of:
1) Is this behaviour also your experience of the current possibilities?
2) Is rJPG working in up to date Metashape versions?
3) Anyone succeeds in the creation of an radiometric orthomosaic?
Thanks a lot and
Best regards
Alex
Metashape has never been able to open the images directly from H20T correcty right out of the camera, you need to convert them to radiometric first.

General / Re: What causes these types of reconstruction errors?
« on: November 26, 2024, 10:33:11 PM »
Control points will not help in this case.
Tightening up the alignment sounds like the solution here.
Maybe some more info about the dataset.

Your file is probably Y up instead of Z up.

Absolutely use the Corrected coordinates of the images when you run the alignment, it will speed it up many times.

Looks like poor alignment.
