I've been working on some really cool stuff the past few months. Here's a recap:
Faster, More Reliable Processing
LGT version 4.3.1 is now available network wide. This update brings a massive set of changes which increase the reliability of reconstructions and speed up processing time by as much as 30%. This work has touched virtually every component of the pipeline, from the structure from motion module, to multi-view stereo, point cloud filtering, texturing and orthophoto rendering. If you encoutered troubles processing certain datasets in the past, I encourage you to try again with this new version.
HTTP/3 Uploads
HTTP/3 is the latest iteration of the hypertext transfer protocol which powers the internet and is supported by most modern browsers. The cloud platform now enables HTTP/3 connections by default on supported clients and improves the reliability of uploads and downloads, especially when using mobile or satellite connections.
Upcoming Improvements
Usually I don't post about upcoming improvements, but it might be a month before I write another update. I've been working on adding support for permanent design overlays (DXF) on the projects from the cloud platform. The feature is in its final testing phase and I'm hoping to roll it out within the next 2-3 weeks. Keep an eye out for it.
Enjoy!
