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.
• 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.
• 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.
