Hello,
I'm working with heavy point clouds (~300 million points) where I need to locate areas of interest to then work on these tiny areas.
Here's my workflow:
- Align Photos
- Densify Cloud
- Duplicate chunk
- Define AOI on dense cloud
- Mesh
- Texture
- Export
The sparse cloud is way too sparse to locate the AOIs that's why I'm working on the dense cloud. As I'm working on an average 40 AOI per cloud, I have a Python script going through steps 1/2/3 then letting me do step 4 before running another script for steps 5/6/7.
Problem is, when running my script
successfully, I have no dense cloud in my chunks. I checked the console, and it says it created 307.000.000 points. However, my chunks, even though being created, only contain the sparse clouds (1.117.000 points) !
Is it because of hardware issues?
Current workstation:
- CPU: Intel Xeon E5 2650 v4
- GPU: nVidia Quadro M4000
- RAM: 64Gb
RAM's far from being overflowed: 13Gb are used... Maybe the GPU being unable to render it?
If it is a hardware issue, I'll change my workflow accordingly. If it isn't, where does it come from?
Thanks in advance.
