Processing with 2.0 Errors

ElginMoore1 — Wed, 24 Jul 2019 11:37:49 GMT

Invalid file error when processing is the latest error....I've processed 1,000 of acres with 1.3x without any issues. Now when using 2.x the processing fails sometimes for no apparent reason. I've got; Blue Screen of Death, processing just stops, computer shuts down, "invalid file", "processing failed", etc... Any ideas?

Thanks

I have been having the same issues. I installed 2.0.1 yesterday and have tried running 2 2D Rapid processes and 1 2D full and have received the window to send in an error report all 3 times. As of now it appears that I cannot process any flights. I am running Windows 10, i7-6700 CPU processor, 16.0 GB of RAM...should be able to handle these projects.

I can't add anything to this issue beyond that I'm seeing exactly the same behavior on hardware that is virtually identical to Rob's. Attempting to process a recent flight has resulted in 2.0.1 crashing every time. I really wish I had kept the Drone2Map 1.3.2 installer so I could roll back. It worked fine on the same computer.

Would you guys happen to have ArcGIS Pro with the Data Interoperability extension installed on the same machine as Drone2Map? There is a known issue at Drone2Map 2.0 and 2.0.1 when running Drone2Map on the same machine with this extension.

If you do have this installed, I recommend uninstalling the Data Interoperability extension for ArcGIS Pro or remove the DataInterop.dll from \install location\Drone2Map\bin.

If you do not have ArcGIS Pro with the Data Interoperability extension installed on the same machine as Drone2Map, I would recommend opening a support ticket so we can help identify and resolve the issue.

Thanks

Thanks for the advice, Tony. Pro is installed on the same machine as Drone2Map, but I don't have the Pro Data Interoperability extension installed. However, deleting DataInterop.dll as you suggested worked. Drone2Map is no longer crashing.

Great news Roger!

Thanks for the info Anthony. I do have Data Interop installed for Pro. My IT manager is out but I will try your suggestions on Monday and reply with the results.

We loaded up D2M 2.0.1 (the patched added) and cannot use GCPs anymore. I reverted to 131 and we are back in business

Deleting the DataInterop.dll file worked for me. Thanks!!

I am based in the UK and have experienced processing errors with V2.0.1 when using GCP's. The final outputs have unusual GCP RMSE errors. I checked this by reprocessing projects previously done with 1.3 where I had RMSE errors of 10mm. When processed using 2.0.1 the errors are 250mm. To get back on track I have tried to reinstall 1.3 and that has really hit the buffers. Rolling back seems to be a technical challenge and this currently sits with ESRI UK Support.

Jeremy,

There is an issue in versions 2.0 and 2.0.1. If the horizontal and vertical accuracy are not specified when importing GCPs, the RMSE may be higher than expected.

A workaround for this in versions 2.0 and 2.0.1 is to make sure your GCPs include the horizontal and vertical accuracy values when importing. If the accuracy is unknown, set it to .02 for both horizontal and vertical accuracy in your GCP file before importing, as this is the default used in Drone2Map 1.3.2.

We have a fix for this coming soon in the 2.0.2 patch. Additionally in version 2.1 we will let you manually change the horizontal and vertical accuracy after importing control.

Thanks

Tony

Thanks for the update. I don't have D2M open. Do I add accuracy columns in the GCP file or is this a setting I updat once the GCP's have been imported?

Thanks

Jeremy

Jeremy,

Add them to the file before importing. For example, if importing a .csv file, add two columns to the end - one for horizontal accuracy and another for vertical accuracy. If you do not know the correct values, simply fill them in with .02 and you should get the same results you are seeing in Drone2Map 1.3.2.

Thanks

Tony

Thanks for the quick response. Doing it know and hopefully back in action. I have been pleasantly (and that's an under statement) surprised by V2.0. The increase in functionality from 1.3 is staggering and creates a much better workflow. Dealing with GCP's and aligning with images took far too long. On the basis that this fix is going to work I will be very pleased and you have done a great job with this release. I estimate that drone related work for clients is now 40% of my business. I undertake real estate work, planning (or zoning), project management and GIS projects. With some of my Drone/GIS work I was considered for presenting at the 2019 UK User Conference. The integration of D2M with other ESRI products works well.

Thanks
