For some of the copter data processing folks Agisoft Photoscan turns out to be the most important tool to calculate point clouds, orthoimages and nadir data mosaics. Problem: very long processing times with dense point cloud calculations with high or ultra-high settings (full resolution image matching with SfM (Structure from Motion) algorithms).<\/p>\n
Some nice net finds show how multicore processing has its limits and why you should invest into GPU performance … and in high end 3D graphic hardware.<\/p>\n
Combining more than 20 CPU cores doesnt seem to speed up the process and combining more than 4 GPU systems also doesnt seem to help. There is only a minimal speed increase when you add more CPUs and\/or more GPUs when a 24 core system is already installed.<\/p>\n
