... about Networking Pscan

[FoodMan]

Hello... a co-worker asked me why Pscan can't reconstruct on several PC's... I don't know why exactly myself...

what's the reason...?

propably a solition exist, but need to test it :-) will inform in few weeks..... even PpenCL van work :-)

hello Wishgranter..

Thanks.
So you're saying it  might be possible..? that would be awesome.... !..

.... really looking froward for your test..

need two identical PCs, mostly the CPU speed SHOULD be identical, if someone have let me know,

is possible even use two PC not on same place ( eventuely on 2continents - NET SPEED is a limit probably )

If is someone interested and this could be used in our comunity ( more than 2 PCs ) let me know...

Have found a solution but need a hard tests to be 100% sure....

I have, 9 computers with the same parameters
.
I will gladly test it

[Wishgranter]

Kris, will put things together and let you know.......

[Wishgranter]

Hello all, will test it with help of Kris, if it work as it should we will inform you......

I believe Agisoft LLC are aware of this and are thinking about implementation.

I've got 3 identical PC builds here and am VERY willing to test this idea.

[Wishgranter]

is not easy for net reconstruct on sw level, but have found solution that can be "easy" implemented.
 Even with this version of Pscan is it possible and without a lot of programing but need test it.......

if everything go smooth, in next 2 weeks can show the solution......

Would it not be possible to distribute the images used for processing on different machines and have each machine work on that part of the picture so to speak? Then combine the results for quicker processing.

[Wishgranter]

Guys, wait a few days, max 2 weeks, have found a solution, but need comunicate with agisoft team how solve few things..... puting it all together in mail that can give answers.....

awesome Wishgranter !!...

OK, the 2nd mentioned "solution" work not, have assumed if you create just ALIGNED file, save 3 times and reconstruct eveytime just few images ( create mesh ) 4 images in one run then save. Afther that just copy from psz files the DEPHT maps and afther that open in pscan and create mesh ( DISABLING the REBUILD DEPHT MAPS ( the newest build ). Bu it will not work. See https://dl.dropbox.com/u/15047343/reconstruction.psd and enable layers, its clearly to see that depht maps are not the same, even the last one could be not processed (Layer three, last image ). so this way is not working....

The firs one mentioned solution need to be tested, IF we get some progress we will inform you ( have some speech with AGISOFT team about possible implementing )

Hello all, this weekend we wil try our "magic" on the net version, is possible that for proper work it will be a extra NET version of pscan because of the nature of net reconstruction that cannot be simply divided in smaler pieces as showed earlier in this thread...... Agisoft give us some experimental version on what we wil try it...
