&lt;p&gt;Benchmark scores can be checked in Contextcapture Settings-&amp;gt;Configuration-&amp;gt;Start Benchmark&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/343228/pastedimage1541748282691v1.png" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;My compiled list:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;RX7900XTX - 982&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;RTX4090&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt; - 551&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;RTX3090&amp;nbsp; have 446&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Nvidia RTX 3080 benchmarks at &lt;strong&gt;464&lt;/strong&gt; [375 Vulkan API&lt;strong&gt;]&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;RTX a6000 have 340&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;RTX&amp;nbsp;3070 have 310&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;RTX 2080 Ti - &lt;strong&gt;303&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;NVIDIA Quadro RTX 3000&lt;strong&gt; -138&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;Titan V (Volta) -?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Quadro P5200-&lt;strong&gt; 162&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;TITAN Xp -?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;TITAN X (Pascal) (recommended)- ?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;em&gt;GTX TITAN X (GTX 1080&lt;/em&gt; Ti) Maxwell - ?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;GTX 1080&lt;/em&gt; (now recommended) - (&lt;strong&gt;191/100&lt;/strong&gt;) or in latest versions - &lt;strong&gt;215/100&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;GTX 1070&lt;/em&gt; - ?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;GTX 980 Ti (Titan)&amp;nbsp;(from CC recommended list)&lt;/em&gt; - exceeds it by far (&lt;strong&gt;150/100&lt;/strong&gt;)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;GTX 980&lt;/em&gt; - just exceeds 100 (&lt;strong&gt;117/100&lt;/strong&gt;)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;GTX 1060&lt;/em&gt; (recommended) -&amp;nbsp; &lt;strong&gt;99/100&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M - &lt;strong&gt;(75/100)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M - &lt;strong&gt;(45/100)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;GTX 780 Ti (from CC recommended list) - ??&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;Nvidia Tesla K40m&lt;/em&gt; - &lt;strong&gt;57/100&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;NVIDIA Quadro K4000&lt;strong&gt; - 24/100&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;NVIDIA Quadro K2000M&lt;strong&gt; - &lt;strong&gt;(20.3/100)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;GTX 650 Ti&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; - &lt;/strong&gt;24/100&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;GTX 260&lt;/em&gt; - &lt;strong&gt;12.6/100&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;GTX 730&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; - &lt;/strong&gt;10/100&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also there seems there is no linear correlation with benchmark scores regarding processing time. For example on same machine GTX 650 Ti processes sample model 5 hours while GTX 980 Ti processes it at 3 hours while benchmark scores differ 7 times performance is only 2 times. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="/products/3d_imaging_and_point_cloud_software/m/mediagallery/272490"&gt;General Contextcapture System Requirements:&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Minimum Hardware&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;It requires at least 8 GB of RAM and NVIDIA or AMD graphics card, or Intel-integrated graphics processor compatible with OpenGL 3.2 with at least 1 GB of dedicated memory.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For specific Annotation jobs leveraging artificial intelligence, minimum GPU requirement are higher. A 4.0GB NVIDIA device with up-to-date drivers is the minimum.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Recommended Hardware&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;As of January 2020, the following configuration is recommended: a recent desktop computer running under Microsoft Windows 8/10 64-bit with 64 GB of RAM, an 8+core i9-CPU and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti graphics card.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Input, working and output data should preferably be stored on fast storage devices (fast HDD, SSD, SAN). For file sharing, we recommend a &amp;gt;1-Gigabit Ethernet network. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Please post your scores&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:150%;"&gt;!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Update 20.1 - revised AT engine</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/products/3d_imaging_and_point_cloud_software/f/contextcapture-descartes-pointools-forum/238873/update-20-1---revised-at-engine</link><pubDate>Wed, 30 Nov 2022 09:37:38 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:cc51eac2-2587-41be-ad81-b42f68013cff</guid><dc:creator>Jason Hagon</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;We are using Context Capture Desktop edition 20.1 V10.20.1.5562 and noticed that there have been some updates to the AT engine and an additional low level preset added.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Aerotriangulation: trust more input metadata when available.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Aerotriangulation: low level preset &amp;ldquo;Maximum position metadata confidence.cfg&amp;rdquo; to help with difficult &lt;br /&gt;linear projects when PPK or RTK positions are available.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I was hoping more information could be shared about these settings. What criteria needs to be met to trust the metadata? Is this position and orientation data from EXIF/imported data? Is position only sufficient? Is the metadata only trusted more when the low level preset is used, or does this happen automatically when metadata meets the criteria?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What is the difference between using the low level preset vs setting the AT to use Photo positioning metadata as an adjustment constraint as adjust/adjust within tolerance?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;"&gt;We have completed a flight with both LiDAR and RGB images. The flight was flown at 50% side lap at 70m AGL with a 20 MPEG camera. The area covered ranges from farmland, to densely vegetated woodlands. As suspected, some of the images have not calibrated as they are only capturing areas of woodland. We have tried a number of different AT settings to try and improve the number of calibrated images. As the image positions are known to be accurate and contain rotation information, the most successful settings are : &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;"&gt;A. Positioning/georeferencing: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;"&gt;- Adjustment constraints: photo positioning metadata &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;"&gt;- Final rigid registration: none B. Main settings: - Key point density: High - Tags or QR Codes extraction: Disabled - Pair selection mode: Exhaustive - Color correction: machine learning - Splats: Disabled C. Estimation policies: - Tie points: Compute - Position: Compute - Rotation: Compute - Pre-calibration stage: Disabled - Focal length: Adjust - Principal point: Adjust - Radial distortion: Adjust - Tangential distortion: Adjust - Aspect ratio: Keep - Skew: Keep &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:inherit;"&gt;We have also added additional data that all images are vertical views only and the minimum and max viewing distances are 20 &amp;amp; 100m respectively. Unfortunately this still means sections are uncalibrated. We have had more success in other photogrammetry packages (Pix4Dmatic) which calibrates more images. Do you have any other advice for other settings to use, possibly presents which may improve our result?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I am trying to work with camera positions and rotations exported from Applanix POSPac software and have run into an issue.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The omega-phi-kappa angles from POSPac rotate from the mapping frame X(E), Y(N), Z(up) to the photo frame: X(pointing to right of photo), Y(pointing to left, Z(pointing up from ground to image).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When imported into ContextCapture, the images are all looking up towards the sky. There is obviously a difference in how the POSPac rotation is defined, and what Bentley is expecting however I cannot find any documentation of what Bentley is expecting to further troubleshoot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any tips would be great,&lt;br /&gt;Josh&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Performance of RTX A5000 with Context Capture</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/products/3d_imaging_and_point_cloud_software/f/contextcapture-descartes-pointools-forum/215389/performance-of-rtx-a5000-with-context-capture</link><pubDate>Wed, 16 Jun 2021 14:54:27 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:a68fbcee-6ca7-4bc5-8996-a809c4821540</guid><dc:creator>Mariusz Heczko</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi, we are looking for information about experience of using NVIDIA&amp;nbsp;RTX A5000 with Context Capture.
