20 hours for reconstructing depth?

[vchmiele]

Hi, I just began an ultra high mesh generation with 37 18mp images.

The dialog box is estimating 19:35 hours for reconstructing depth.

Is this realistic? Is there something I can do to speed up this process?

btw, I running 24 gig of ram, 8 cores (using 7), NVidia Quadro FX 1800.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hello vchmiele,

According to the approximate memory consuption peak information (http://www.agisoft.ru/wiki/PhotoScan/Tips_and_Tricks#Memory_Requirements), for 37 images in Arbitrary + Ultra reconstruction mode 24 GB RAM could be insufficient. So please check if the process has gone to swap.

Also please note that Quadro FX 1800 shows low PhotoScan performance and benefit from using this card in processing is not that much.

The time dropped to about 7 hours about an hour intoprocessing

I was successful with 27 similar images before, so fingers crossed!

Thanks for the info.
