ODM "Strange error code" when making an ortho

Hi everyone,

I’ve searched for similar issues others have had and not found a response that matches this problem so far. I am trying to make a decent sized orthomosaic and after several hours this happened:

===== Dumping Info for Geeks (developers need this to fix bugs) =====

===== Done, human-readable information to follow... =====

[ERROR]   The program exited with a strange error code. Please report it at https://community.opendronemap.org

I am running this on my home computer, the similar topics suggested were run on cloud clusters, so I assume this is a different cause.

Any help would be great, I’m hoping to migrate totally to this system and away from Drone Deploy. The test map that I managed to stitch worked well and I like it.

You may have run out of free physical memory.

How many images and what megapixel resolution for them?

1998 images at 17.5GB total, 4000x2000

Yeah, you may be well above the RAM limit with that.

Have you played with split/merge workflows yet?

Didn’t know they existed!

Would running it all from a dedicated portable hard drive also solve the problem?

No, sadly not. You’re not short on storage, you’re short on Memory/RAM.

If you have a large/fast flashdrive, Windows 10 can let you use it as a ReadyBoost drive.

Brilliant! Cheers for that. I’ll see how I go with the flash drive situation until I can buy a new computer
