Frozen Project while Align Photos

[mcstieg]

Hello everybody!

My problem is a frozen project when aligning photos.
Sometimes this occurs while processing, sometimes when finishing. (See Log below text)

I've already had projects with 2000+ images (same cameras, same computer),
that were aligned perfectly - even on setups like:
Accuracy: Highest
Pair pres.: Disabled
Key limit: 50,000
Tie limit: 0
Constrain features by mask: yes
Adaptive camera model fitting: yes

Computer:
Win7 64bit SP1
i7-5820K
32GB RAM
GeForce GTX 980 Version 372.90 (2.11.4.0 GeForce Experience)
SSD Samsung 850 EVO 250G
Energy management: highest
Free Disk Space: 99GB

Cameras:
GoPro 3+ black
GoPro 4 black
(12MP Wide)

Setup:
Photoscan 1.2.6 build 2834 (64bit)
Camera Calibration: Fisheye
Default View: Point Cloud
Active CPU cores: 11/12
OpenCL devices: GTX 980
------------------
Accuracy: Medium
Pair pres.: Generic
Key limit: 8,000
Tie limit: 0
Constrain features by mask: yes
Adaptive camera model fitting: yes
Cameras: 408
-------------------------------------
I hope someone can help on this...
THANKS ALOT

Hello mcstieg,

Does it happen on the same dataset or can be reproduced on a random project?

[mcstieg]

Thanks for the quick reply!

This happend for the first time some weeks ago with a different project.
It feels like the problem occurs more frequently - and on any projects.

I reinstalled Photoscan and updated graphics driver...

Hello mcstieg,

I can also suggest to run RAM tests using Memtest86 utility.

Additionally please specify whether you see any CPU activity during the matching/alignment that is "freezed"?

[mcstieg]

This took a while ... 0 errors.

CPU activity is different.
Sometimes all cores do nothing (alignmet was completed but project frozen)
But I think that I have seen an example where each core seemed to be active (project at work but frozen).

When I reduce the amount of cameras (disable every 2nd. camera) it sometimes "solves" the problem.
Also reducing alignment parameters (medium oder low , generic, 4000, 1000) can help.

What can I do? : )

Hello mcstieg,

Can you provide the dataset to support@agisoft.com for our internal tests, the alignment of 400 images shouldn't take so long time with the default settings.
