Agisoft PhotoScan 1.4.0 pre-release

[Vlad]

Interesting how far Photoscan users from care about mesh quality
Anything but not most impressive feature of AP 1,4.

Some example how photo-consistency refinement work in AP.
But this result still far away from what this method can do.

And this is Medium quality that required 2Gb of VRAM for 53x16Mpx only images (as i understand used 3 or 4 times downsampled images)

This is great, and thanks to the Agisoft team for continued improvement.

However - there appears to still be no way to import a dense cloud and still no way to edit a dense cloud properly (eg: no ability to view only a small section of the cloud so as to prevent selections of parts you don't want to delete).

In the case of import, seems an easy thing to do because you already allow the mesh to be exported and imported.

Currently it makes refining the end result quite difficult. If you don't want to expend effort on dense cloud edit tools then please please please add the import ability. The cloud can then be edited in an external tool and imported back in.

Hello cbnewham,

still no way to edit a dense cloud properly (eg: no ability to view only a small section of the cloud so as to prevent selections of parts you don't want to delete).

If you are using PhotoScan Pro, please try the following:
- select a part of the dense cloud,
- choose "Filter by selection" option in the drop-down menu of Dense Cloud Classes button on the toolbar.

It should hide all points except the selection. When finished editing in the smaller volume you can reset filter to display hidden points.

Hy, when I start video importing, the application screen become as image attached.

And the importing don't stop at 100% but go on and continue importing the last frame till I manually terminate the application

Hello Matt,

We are planning to publish an update of pre-release with some fixes based on the received feedback, hope it will also fix the video import issue on Mac OS that is affecting GUI.

[cbnewham]

Thanks Alexey, but I only have the standard version, so that's not a solution for me.

 

[Alexey Pasumansky]

Ok, understood. We'll see, if it would be possible to add similar functionality to Standard edition.

[cbnewham]

Thanks Alexey. That's be really great.

For photogrammetry of sculpture more capabilities in dealing with the dense cloud is really the only thing I miss in what is otherwise a fantastic product.

Hello Matt,

Can you please check build 5097? Links are updated in the first post.

When running "Refine Mesh" I keep getting this error
"Kernel failed: unspedified launch failure (4) at line 197"

If I try running it again without restarting AP I get this error
"CUDA_ERROR_LAUNC_FAILED (700) at line 115"

Any idea why I'm getting these errors?

Hello all,
I'm a professional version user and i'm experiencing serious problems of "out of memory" in mesh creation, even with <100 photos models. I'm working with a 64bit windows10 system, with intel i7 7700, 32 gb of ram, AMD Radeon R9 280 with 4gb of wram.

[cbnewham]

apintuc: as far as I'm aware and experience dictates, mesh creation is mostly dependant on number of dense cloud points. I have 32Gb of ram on Windows 10 and my limit is 50 million points, regardless of how many photos are involved (my latest project has 800, other projects as few as 80, but the limit is always 50m points).

I think maybe I found a couple of bugs?:

1.) I tried to import a manually created Markers file exported from Photoscan Pro 1.3X into Photoscan Pro 1.4 Beta.  I got a pop-up error dialog saying "Missing Sensor ID"

2.) I tried to import a MP4 video file and got a popup dialog saying "A media resource couldn't be resolved"

Thank you for reporting.

We'll fix the XML compatibility for markers in the next update. As for the video import, please specify the OS you are using and the codec used in the video.

I also try to import MP4 video into PS and get same message message "A media resource couldn't be resolved" on Windows platform...
Please see attached screen

Im using 1.4 build 5097 and trying to import video (both mp4 and mov) but keep getting the error: A media resource couldnt be resolved".

Dear cbnewham, in generale the number of photos makes the number of points...anyway, i'm talking about of max 10 millions point clouds (but even 5 millions) that cannot be calculated by the pc...
