Agisoft Metashape 1.7.0 pre-release

[Mak11]

It's a shame that this feature isn't present in the Standard version as I've been hoping for something like this for years.

Hello Mak,

Currently defocus masking option requires the chunk to be scaled to the real world dimensions, which is not possible in Standard edition. However, we'll see, if there could be any approach to implement the feature in Standard edition.

Alexey,

Thanks for the info. Hopefully this is something that can be figured out.

Cheers

I tried out your latest Metashape release, and it's still broken!

This is what I get from opening a previous project and trying to process a Depth Map.



Really disappointed by this

[Alexey Pasumansky]

Hello 3D_Scan_Fan,

Which graphic cards do you have enabled in the GPU Preferences tab of Metashape? And which driver versions are installed for these GPUs?

[3D_Scan_Fan]

Like before, I have two RX 580 graphic cards, both of which enabled.

Again, like before, I am using driver version 18.6.1.

All your recent versions up til 1.7.0. (maybe 1.6.5.) work with this older driver.

Please send the complete processing log related to the failed operation to support@agisoft.com.

Some algorithms, including the depth maps generation, have been revised in the version 1.7.0.

The Radeon Software Adrenalin Edition 18.6.1 drivers are nearly 3 years old (!!).

Mak

[3D_Scan_Fan]

And?

They still work.

Also, any version after that is not compatible with Photoscan 1.3.5. because of the removal of Spir-1.2.

Funny enough, the last time I saw this similar problem was with newer version of the driver.

[wojtek]

It's a shame that this feature isn't present in the Standard version as I've been hoping for something like this for years. 

Mak

Same, I even went ahead and just built it as an extension myself. It works a bit differently but the results are pretty much the same except all masks are done in parallel.

The 170 version is more precise, though. Kudos

edit: hmm, i actually still have some advantages when I compared it head to head. yay wojtek!

   $3499 (Professional version) is way above what I can spend though (just for one feature in my case) .

Seconded. a defocus mask feature is highly desirable.

Hello 3D_Scan_Fan,

Metashape 1.7 uses hardware-accelerated textured from OpenCL API, which seems to be improperly supported in the drivers that you are using.

Is there any reason, why you need to use PhotoScan 1.3?

[Paulo]

Hello all,

i understand that new depth maps generation method produces better detailed models than previously.

However for drone aerial mapping, the depth maps generation time is dramatically higher than v1.6 in case of lower end GPU Geforce GTX 670MX as previously reported. Also dense cloud  quality is lower as shown in attached screen copy showing 2 clouds (1.6 and 1.7) side by side with a  lot of noise in 1.7.

Comparing the accuracy of both clouds shows that they are quite consistent except for the noise. In 2nd attachment, the 1.7 cloud is colored by elevation...

As things stand I would continue using v1.6 for dense cloud and subsequent product generation. I hope this issue can be addressed.
