High memory utilisation in the end

In nearly every step on the way only as much as 25% out of 64gigs of ram is used but at the end of densifying the pointcloud 99% of ram is in use and 100% swap. And the computer is pretty locked.

Is this normal and will SPLIT help?

Im thinking split at 250 and a 20m radius.

–pc-quality and --pc-filter would be my first place to start. Also, lowering --max-concurrency would also help reduce peak memory consumption.

Problem is that I need quality output.

I’m trying split now and hope it will work out.

Split will be composited at the end… I’m not sure you can avoid issues with PC filtering if you don’t adjust parameters.

You should look into pc-filter. You likely can relax it a bit without losing much detail and it has a massive impact on how many points are included, and thus memory consumption.

I’m filtering a bit already. I normally do an intelligent filtering in CloudCompare.

No, got an error again, “can not process dataset”.

I don’t get it.

Mavic 2 pro
20 degrees from nadir
80% overlap
Cross flight.

Can you re-try with --max-concurrency 2 or something?
