Agisoft PhotoScan 1.0.0 pre-release

[chadfx]

Hello Alexey,

I have verified that the issue is happening in the 1768 and 1771 builds in Mac OS 10.8.5 (Snow Leopard). I have not upgraded to 10.9 Mavericks yet. If I roll back to build 1760, the texture building works as expected...so I think it is a recent change that has caused this to come up.

I don't think I have changed anything in my system config, but I will try to see if I can find anything else that might be helpful.

Cheers, -C

Just a quick update, Alexey. I also tried this on an early 2013 iMac (10.8.5) and it had the same issue. I also tried disabling all extensions (Safe Boot mode) and the problem was still there. I also tried it in 10.8.3 and it was the same (works in 1760, broken in 1771).

Once again, it's only with Mosaic and Average texture builds, it still works if I use Max or Min intensity.

Please let me know if there is anything else you would like me to try, or even if you would like me to run a special debug version, etc.

Cheers, -C

Hello Chad,

Thank you for this information. We'll try to fix that as soon as possible.

Hey folks,

i got an error loading a project file, after switching from a previous 1.0.0 beta to the current build 1771. My file PSZ is 12GB bit containing ca. 30 chunks. Before it works without problems, so it shouldnt be a problem of RAM. After the half is loaded i get the message "Cant open file".

Whats wrong, where are logs? A clear error message or an error code with a reference to documentation would be great to make this product even more professional.

Take care,

Markus

Hello Chad,

Please check the latest update and report if there are still any problems.



Hello Markus,

Is it possible that the project is corrupted?

[chadfx]

Hello Alexey...that fixed it!

I just did a quick test and it worked as expected. I can test on a couple of other Mac platforms later, but I think you have squashed that bug.

Thank you!

Hi,

I exported an orthopho from a model and got a strange result. Seems like the texture given by some cameras is not calculated correctly. See image attached.

[Alexey Pasumansky]

Hello Ronald,

Is it an export made from build 1774?

Just to make sure - there are no blue images in the set, correct?

[RonaldWe]

Hi Alexey,

the export is from build 1771.
No, there were no blue images. The textured model itself (generic, mosaic 16384x1 texture size, colour correction enabled) looks great! However, if I export the orthophote in default settings (mosaic) I get this strange result. So far I was not able to reproduce it since orthophoto export took me 12 hours (around 1200 photos used).

Also, the orthophoto partly shows textures that are on the back of the building. Will try to disable all cameras I don`t need for texture building, build texture again and then try to export orthophoto with diabled cameras from backside.

Hello Ronald,

Could you please try build 1774, we have fixed some issues for orthophoto export there that may have appeared for complex objects (at the second issue should be fixed).

Major Texturing Problem

Build Texture creates either black or very pixelated textures. I'm using Build 1774, Standard Edition, 64 bit, Windows 8.1.

Attached are the screen shots of the textured meshes for copies of the same chunk, 12,314,183 points in the Dense Point Cloud, meshes with 10 million and 2 million faces. Also attached is a screen capture of the 2 million face shaded mesh.

Texturing was done using:
Blending mode  Mosaic
Texture size      2048
Texture count    1
Color correction No

[David Cockey]

I just tried decimating the mesh to 200,000 faces and building texture. The result is all black.

I have two similar chunks with 20 million and 2 million face meshes of each. The texture results for those also range from small "pixels" to large "pixels" to black.

[Alexey Pasumansky]

Hello David,

Thank you for reporting.

This problem may be related to the huge number of flying polygons around the model - looks like the Interpolation was disabled (if you open View Mesh UVs dialog you'll probably see a lot of small pieces). Could you please remove these parts using Connected Components criterion in the Gradual Selection dialog and rebuild the texture.

[David Cockey]

Attached is what I see with the View Mesh UVs dialog box for the 2 million face mesh. Same thing with the other meshes.

I used Gradual Edit at 98% Connected Components with the 200,000 face mesh and removed the few small polygons. Currently rebuilding the texture which takes about 35 minutes.

Update: Result is all black texture.

[Alexey Pasumansky]

Hello David,

I think that such a long texture generation time is also caused by disabled interpolation (former Sharp mode). Using Interpolation should fix both long processing time and pixelated texture.
