"Error writing TIFF header" when building an orthomosaic in a python script

[cbo]

Hi,

I have the following error when I try to build an orthomosaic in a python script:

Code: [Select]

libtiff error: Error writing TIFF header
RuntimeError: TIFFClientOpen: unexpected error: memory stream

Do you know why I could get this error? The weird thing is that when I execute the same code within the Metashape software with GUI, it goes fine.

Here is the code that I execute in the python script:

Code: [Select]

import Metashape
document = Metashape.Document()
document.open(folder + "project_before_ortho.psx", ignore_lock=True)

chunk = document.chunk
task = Metashape.Tasks.BuildOrthomosaic()
task.surface_data = Metashape.ModelData
task.blending_mode = Metashape.MosaicBlending
task.fill_holes = True
task.cull_faces = False
task.refine_seamlines = False
task.resolution_x = 0.001
task.resolution_y = 0.001
proj = Metashape.OrthoProjection()
proj.crs = Metashape.CoordinateSystem("LOCAL")
proj.matrix = Metashape.Matrix([
  [1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0],
  [0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0],
  [0.0, -1.0, 0.0, 0.0],
  [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0]
])
task.projection = proj
chunk.addOrthomosaic()
chunk.orthomosaic = chunk.orthomosaics[-1]
task.apply(chunk)

In the software, I just open Metashape and execute the same code, except for the first lines:

Code: [Select]

document = Metashape.app.document
document.open(folder + "project_before_ortho.psx", ignore_lock=True)
And as I said, when done in the Metashape software, I don't have the error and the orthomosaic is built...

Any help would be great!
Thanks a lot

Hello cbo,

Do you have the libtiff error right on the script start?

I have tried to run exactly the same script as you do for a random project and it worked without any error. So can you please also specify, if the script started from the command line fails on any project, for example, a small project for testing purposes?
