Balancing the power

I increased the ram from 32 to 64 gigs a wile ago, but the ram use doesn’t go above 32 so now I’m maxing out the cpu from a AMD 2600 to a 3700X. So with two more cores, four more threads, I think I will get a ram use at about 40 gigs.

If I had a drone with higher MP I would probably have a higher ram utilisation but that will not happen in a wile.

According to tests the 3700X will be about 40% more effective than the 2600.

I cal this a early Christmas gift to myself.

Sadly there a lot of snow here in Sweden so I have to test things with the data sets I currently have.

If anyone have a data set with >20mp images I would like to test it and se what computer load I get.

Not >20MP, but here’s 230 images with my M2P if you want some to play with-

It’s just a couple of hundred metres of local road, with an erosion gully down the side

I also got an M2P so have a bit of images.

But I can give your set a try anyway.

If you want big images, you could resize the M2P ones by 2X… if the software allows that, I’ve never tried.

What’s the GSD of your dataset?

About 0.7cm on average, but the images were taken from various heights.
For me ORB didn’t give a good result, but only took an hour, SIFT worked much better but took 6 and 12 hours with different settings, but still with a few small issues.

What overlap did you use?

I was working on a PR that would allow that to match Pix4D/Agisoft, but I have temporarily sidelined it.

Rather more than 80-80 overall, taken at <11km/hr at around 35m AGL automated, and I did some extra very slow manual flying at ~5km/hr at about half that height AGL along the road. Photos were at 2 sec interval

I always let the drone stop for every photo,

That works for small jobs, but isn’t practical for big ones when you have weather and other time constraints.
