Hi everyone,
I am new user to ContextCupture and I am working on a pilot project for a Telecommunication company in my country. We use a DJI Mavic Pro UAV for the video capture of a telecommunication antenna at 3840x2160 dpi in D-Cinelike mode. The final capture is a 336 sec video around the antenna tower following a helix way I tried several times to do the AT and the reconstruction of the antenna. However, the produced result is part of the around scenery or something abstract.I believe that the problem has to do with the sensor size and the focal length numbers set in CC. According to UAV specs these numbers should be respectivly 7,66 mm and 28 mm but I am not sure.
We are a little bit lost here and some help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Hi Philippe,
Thank you too for the hint. Another "brick" in the wall. We will try your advise, too.
I appreciate your help.
If you try this, could you leave me your advice about the result you have had in comparison with the one you have had previously ?
Thanks,

Hello Philippe,
Sorry for my late response. There were too many things in my program to be done before we complete the project.
Eventually, we didn't manage to produce the final model due to lack of processor power. We tried to split the data up to 10 smaller pieces but every time the production reached the 6th part the application were stacked. I don't know what are the specifications for the computer to work fine the application, but I think we used a very good PC. These are the characteristics of our computer.
CPU: Intel Core i7 860 @4GHz Mobo: MSI Big Bang Trinergy Memory: 8GB DDR3 Geil DDR3 2000MHz VGA: Asus HD Radeon 5850.
Hi Bill,
First, has the AT been done correctly ? If yes, it is (maybe) a good thing.
Also, for my information, how many photographs have you in your project ?
How have you split your data ? Have you used the tiling ? If yes, are you took care of the required memory needed to compute tiles ? You have a computer with only 8Gb of memory. Maybe the problem come from that point. If it is, you must use smaller tiles (to have a max of 4Gb needed for the computation) or use adaptative tiling by specifying a max memory to use of 4Gb.
Last point, I have no experience with Radeon 5850 but could you say me which is the score ContextCapture measure for your configuration? You could see this value in the ContextCapture Settings in the tab "Configuration" --> "Benchmark".
CPU seems to be ok.
Have a nice day !
