Processing time - PIX4Dcloud
This article lists the factors that influence the processing time of PIX4Dcloud projects.
Factors
The following are the primary factors that are related to the processing time of a PIX4Dcloud dataset:
- Project:
- Number of images.
- More images per dataset typically requires more time.
- Image resolution.
- More pixels per image typically requires more time.
- Amount of image overlap.
- More overlap between images typically requires more time.
- If the images are geolocated or not.
- Missing geotags or inaccurate geotags typically requires more time.
- Number of images.
- Processing template selected:
- Quality selected.
- Higher quality, resolution, or density typically requires more time.
- Amount of outputs to be generated.
- More reconstructions requires more time.
- Quality selected.
- Processing traffic on the servers.
- More datasets processing may require more time.
Suggestions
- Only upload images with content that is relevant to the project to make sure that PIX4Dcloud doesn't spend time reconstructing irrelevant areas.
- Consider using the rapid templates for processing so PIX4Dcloud generates less detailed results.
- Select the template that best suits your use case to make sure that PIX4Dcloud uses the most appropriate processing options.
- Check your project meets the basic requirements necessary to ensure successful processing. For more information, Best practices and capabilities for PIX4Dcloud.
Note: The processing time estimated by PIX4Dcloud is an approximation. Many factors can change the amount of time it takes for a project to finish processing.
Processing can take more time than the amount of time PIX4Dcloud estimated when processing started. A PIX4Dcloud project can require up to 48 hours to finish processing.
