Ortho Projection Processing Time

Hello,

Has anyone had an issue with the processing of an ortho projection taking an excessive amount of time to complete? Progress on the processing usually won’t move past 50%, it takes much longer than the estimated finish time and the total time keeps climbing. It’s take much longer than the first few I processed, up from under 30 minutes to this which has in some cases gone on for 6 or more hours with no progress past the halfway mark. In this case, the model is a two lane street, with 268 images, and 5 ground control points. It’s a very simple scene so I’m not sure what the issue is.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi @Fhyvotu,
what are our ortho creation settings? Is it possible that you are trying to create too big ortho?

Capture

That’s it. You are trying to create ortho with 97 000 px width. RealityCapture supports orthos with maximal size around 40 000 px for the export and non-tiff.

You have “ortho pixel size” 1mm resolution (0.001) set on your map. That may be too much. Just set to 1cm (0.01) if that works for you.

I am also getting very slow speeds. Should I be using mosaic aerial or ortho from textured model. Which is more ideal?

The mosaic combines images to create an image. Therefore, you can enhance it later by changing the used images for certain parts. It should also be more accurate.
The standard ortho projection uses a textured model.

It all depends on your needs and preferences.
