Hi,

We recently upgraded to Pix4DMatic Pro [V2.10.2]. We have a recurring project that involves on average 600 photos.

Up until the upgrade, the initial calibration took 21 minutes.

Previous results & settings can be seen below;

Before reaching out here, a repeat flight on this project, with ~600 photos - same drone etc, ran for 20 hrs and the calibration was only at 80%

I therefore ended this process as I knew this couldn’t be right, then restarted the computer, and started the process again.

Currently 20min into the process and I’m sitting at 1% - see bellow.

The only thing that I’m not aware about is the feature extraction process. This always failed on Matic in the past.

Thanks,

Paul
