Export Cameras in file exchange format is being cut off at exactly 2 GB. Is there a way to fix it?

I know, in version 1.3.4 all work good. But here there are no any point after buildPoints(). Its may code which work in version 1.3.4.
Code: [Select]
chunk.importCameras(locationpath, format=PhotoScan.CamerasFormatXML)
chunk.matchPhotos(accuracy=PhotoScan.HighAccuracy,  generic_preselection=True, filter_mask=True, keypoint_limit=100000, tiepoint_limit=4000)
chunk.buildPoints()
I have checked it in the latest pre-release and it worked as expected, can you please make sure that cameras are properly imported (including the distortion information)?

Hello John,

In the build 5543 you can select the points that includes the problematic area (no need to have an accurate selection) while looking from top, then in the Tools Menu select Dense Cloud -> Invert Point Normals option and in the related dialog check on "Opposite normals" option only. In this case only incorrectly oriented normals will be inverted.

Works perfectly! Thanks very much.

The images are almost completely featureless white painted surfaces so the best way to check overlap used to be to visually identify tiny defects in the paint finish and flip to the next image and back quickly multiple times to see if they exist in adjacent images or not.

This is impossible to do now the image disappears, reappears pixelated, and then takes a couple of seconds to load in full each time you switch.

FYI I have found that opening the relevant images into multiple tabs pretty much solves this for me.
Hello James,

Have you tried to switch off multithread image loading in the Advanced Preferences tab? I think it should re-create the old behavior of the image loading for you.

Hello,

With the last update available, the option to hide items when capturing image from model view seems to have disappeared.
With API scripting, it also doesn't work.

Thanks if you can fix that in next release.

Hello Seboon,

We'll fix the Python function in the next 1.4.0 update.

I believe I'm experiencing some kind of stability problem with v1.4 Build 5532 Standard Edition.

The symptoms are that a very large number of Handles (16M and 31M on two separate runs) are created over time and my machine pretty much comes to a halt. By coming to a halt I mean unresponsive to mouse or keyboard.

Only one of the 36 available cores (core 2) is doing anything, it is at 100%.  all other cores are essentially idle.

It's an Intel i9 with 128Gb memory and twin EVGA GTX 1080 Ti SC Gaming 11 GPUs.

This happens many hours (10+) into the photo alignment stage of processing a 7200+ camera model.

On one occasion while running the above mentioned big model I got impatient and started up a 2nd copy of Photoscan to build a mesh using the new algorithm on a model that I had originally aligned using version 1.3.4.  It was a  smaller model (3200 cameras). I noted during this run that again only core 2 was at 100%.  It got to a stage with 16,000,000+ handles that neither copy of Photoscan seem to be making any progress.  I tried pausing one then the other but neither paused or made any progress (no output to the console).  When the copy of Photoscan that had been running for 12+ hours was killed the handles reduced to 15,000 or so proving it was the long running copy of Photoscan that appears to be leaking Handles.

PS: Memory usage is fairly low (<25% of 128GB).

HTH

Hello bjb,

Do you have the processing log related to any of these operations? Which parameters you are using for the processing?

Maybe you can provide its final part that is related to the problematic operation only?

Without documentation of the console log how can i know what is the problematic operation?

Log file from the start of the process is 17Mb. so it's hard to see how to cut it down to 512kb

Please see attached screen shot.

The Building Model stage is only using one core.

15 hours later.

Is it hung?  One core is 100%

Hello bjb,

Some steps of the Build Mesh stage are using only one core, so it is not the bug, however, the long time may be related to the large number of photos in the set and model complexity.
