Bug Reports / Alignment crashes Metashape when viewing another project simultaneously

« on: August 23, 2020, 04:03:08 PM »

chunk.alignPhotos() step ran through Python crashes Metashape, whenever I open and view another dataset in in another Metashape instance on same PC. Not instantaneously, but just before it finishes alignment.

Metashape v.1.6.4 64bit, 2x RTX2080TI, no CPU when using GPU, latest game ready drivers, cleanly installed.

I also submitted several crash reports.

General / Ideal worker PC for large cluster

« on: October 25, 2018, 09:25:18 PM »

Hey,

I'd really like to hear your opinion of running a pretty large (50 to 150 workers) cluster of PhotoScan machines. What hardware would you pick for best cost-effectiveness and performance in this case?

I am collecting from 9 to 25 photos with 12 Mpx every second, depending on the job, with surveys running for several weeks at a time, and want to have at least a chance of processing it.

Thanks

General / Multi-camera setup

« on: April 18, 2017, 11:25:12 AM »

Hi,
I'm using three synced cameras rigidly mounted on a ROV (remotely operated underwater vehicle) with about 70% overlap at typical survey altitude.
What would be the best way of importing them using a Python script, so they get calibrated as separate cameras, but contribute to the same 3D model?

Also, as the scene needs to be left undisturbed I cannot place scale-bars or measure the objects with divers, but I need consistent scaling of the object. Having a fixed baseline between cameras should help, or am I not getting the operation principle?

Thanks
