BuildPoints NetworkTask unexpected error

[smihic]

Hi,
  when using networking for import cameras (ImportCameras,MatchPhotos, BuildPhotos) in a single batch, I get failed: Unexpected error when starting BuildPoints task. Code looks like:

Code: [Select]

# create import camera task (task0)
.
.
.
# create match photos task (task1)
.
.
.
# Create build Points task
task2 = PhotoScan.NetworkTask()
for c in doc.chunks:
    task2.chunks.append(c.key) #task2.frames.append((c.key, 0))

task2.name = "BuildPoints"
task2.params['error'] = 10.0
task2.params['network_distribute'] = True #fine level task distribution key

# Create client
client = PhotoScan.NetworkClient()
client.connect(server_ip_address)
batch_id = client.createBatch('test_project.psx', [task0, task1, task2])
success = client.resumeBatch(batch_id)


Other two tasks finish without any error. Also, is it necessary to save PSX file after each task has been completed?

Hello Srdjan,

Build points has different name in Python API for network distribution, also the parameter for the error is named differently. With the following modifications it should work:

Code: [Select]

task2.name = 'TriangulatePoints'
task2.params['model_threshold'] = 10

Thank you Alexey, it works.

Hi,
   just to check when setting parameters for MatchPhotos network task, is filter_mask parameter remained the same in code or it has different name, like aforementioned model_threshold/error example?

Best regards,
Srdjan

Hello Srdjan,

For MatchPhotos network task it should be "filter_mask" parameter.
