Segmentation fault matchPhotos

[zoocafe]

When I run photoscan.sh -platform offscreen -r script.py I most of the time get segmentation fault
photoscan.sh: line 19: 27666 Segmentation fault      (core dumped) "$dirname/$appname" "$@"

It appears when I do chunk.matchPhotos(accuracy=PhotoScan.HighAccuracy, generic_preselection=True,reference_preselection=False) after addPhotos.

AddPhotos
MatchPhotos: accuracy = High, preselection = generic, keypoint limit = 40000, tiepoint limit = 4000, constrain features by mask = 0
photoscan.sh: line 19: 21670 Segmentation fault      (core dumped) "$dirname/$appname" "$@"

Now and then it works without segmentation fault but it is rare

I've tried version 1.3.4, 1.3.3 and 1.3.2 but the result are the same

I'm certain that the list of photos for addPhotos is valid as I create it from os.list.dir and have confirmed the paths.
Even though I don't think it is the root problem is there a way for photoscan to check or return the number of added photos or their paths?

Hello zoocafe,

Can you also provide the processing log related to the failed operation from the script start? Also have you submitted the crash report?

[zoocafe]

Hello Alexey,

I don't know how to submit the photoscan crashreport do you have any instructions? (that I searched for but didn't find)

Here is the log, I removed my own print to file log and changed it to print prefixed with "My print "

Hello zoocafe,

Can you please sen in your script the following line prior to the image matching stage and let me know if the same issue occurs?

Code: [Select]

PhotoScan.app.gpu_mask = 0
Also does it happen for any image set or just for particular one?


You can try to check for the crash reports in the /tmp/ folder (unless any of the following environment variables were set up: TMPDIR, TMP, TEMP, TEMPDIR). There should be .dmp and .extra files.
