Hello all,
I have a question regarding running RC on VMs running Windows Server. I have noticed, in both WS 2016 and 2012 R2, that DNG images viewed in 2D (both thumbnails and whole image) have got a discolored and grainy quality as compared to the original photos - both viewed on my local machine and on Windows Photo Viewer within the Windows Server environments.
I thought that this was just a display issue, until I ran alignment on the same non-georeferenced dataset both on my local machine and the VMs.
On the VMs, the alignment was very fast, but RC was not able to align all the camera poses - largest component was ~50% of the imageset and produced several smaller components at different scales and in different locations.
On the local machine, the alignment took much longer, but was a total success: 100% of the images in a single component.
This leads me to believe that the quality of the images is not only a display issue but that they are being input to the process in this altered state. On to my questions:
- Is the assumption I just stated correct?
- What version of Windows Server is considered best for running RC - 2008, 2012, or 2016?
- Is it possible to run RC on a Debian-based VM?
Thanks in advance - and keep up the good work you guys - great software suite.
