General / Excessive Image Elimination in Standard Edition?

« on: January 02, 2020, 12:52:32 PM »

I downloaded the documentation pdf for v1.6 and note that on page 10 it mentions Excessive image elimination.  I can't find the "Reduce Overlap" dialogue from the Tools menu.

Are you using the latest Nvidia Drivers?
What are the specs of your photos (JPG/PNG..16/24/32bit) ? Could be an issue the new GPU accelerate texture generation. One way to find out would be to disable it (Alexey could probably share the tweak to manually turn it off).

version 441.41 released 26 November so not that old.  There is a newer build released on 10 December which i'll download.

I've updated to the latest 441.66 20th December drivers and still get the issue.

I note if i go back into the build texture item on the workflow menu that the mapping mode is set to Keep UV,  I've tried setting this to Generic and re-running the texture build but the same happens.

I've updated to the 9925 build and am still getting this weird looking almost greyscale texture.

Hello BjFaeTorphins,

I think that something messed up with the access rights - for some reason the created files cannot be removed or rewritten. Do you observe any similar behavior when trying to export anything from Metashape to the new file or to the file with existing filename?

Alexey

After the error happens the model.tmp directory mentioned in the error message is gone.  I've not seen any permission errors and the project file can be saved after the error.

Hello BjFaeTorphins,

Is it the latest pre-release build that you are using?

Is the project data stored locally or the path leads to the network/external drive?

yes Build 9862.

it was on the NAS in the case of the two errors i logged above. 

I did try moving the project files to the local SSD drive and leaving the photos on the NAS and so far that has been working.  I've had some successful mesh builds so i've not been able to isolate what combination of things always cause the error.

Alexey,

I got the "Can't rename file or directory: Access is denied" running a mesh from depth maps on the local SSD drive so the NAS vs local drive theory is not the answer.

I just noticed that there are an excessive number of handles when running and alignment of 8000 images.  7000 out of 8000 aligned first time.  it was when selecting all images and running the alignment for the 2nd time to add the unaligned images that i noticed the handles.  So far this has not caused a problem but i have seen windows become unresponsive when a process does not clean up handles.

Using build 9862 i generated  mesh from depth maps which has worked pretty good. Image 1 shows a small piece of the shaded view.

I then tried building texture the result of which is shown in image 2.

What am I doing wrong?

Hello BjFaeTorphins,

If the crash is reproducible, can you please confirm if Metashape still crashes, when you start it as administrator (using Run as Administrator command)?

Just to mention this is not running batch mode.  it's just doing an alignment interactively.

Yes run i tried run as administrator which then failed silently and got the following in the event log...

Hello BjFaeTorphins,

If you are using Windows, can you please check the Windows Event Viewer -> Windows Logs -> Application section and check, if there are any lines marked with the red exclamation sign related to metashape.exe? If there are any, please check the Faulting Module Name line and the Exception Code.

Yes I'm using windows and right enough there are eventvwr records...

I'm getting a crash running build Standard 9617.  There is no error in the log file.  I'm running an align of multiple chunks in batch mode.  It seems to happen during the 2nd chunk.

Hello BjFaeTorphins,

Was the crash reporter window shown for you?
Also which OS version and which driver version you are using?

Metashape exited silently.  no error dialogue or message written to logfile.  Also loses setting to save a logfile and it's location.
