Exit code 1 - Why cant I process the entire imagery set as shown in my screen shot?

Hi All
Im a new user to ODM. What a cool tool.

I am having an issue getting some images to mosaic into orthos. I have a nice coverage, lots of overlap, but some parts just fail. If I try to do them in smaller lots I get “Exit Code 1”. I have attached an image of my coverage showing the centers for the drone images, and the resulting ortho. Note the large ares missing.

If I try smaller chunks I get the following error. Can anybody decipher that?

Thanks for your help.
Cheers
Tony

Hey @tonyshep :hand: try to process all images at once, but increase the --min-num-features value (double the default).
