Week 5

This week i have focussed more on research and the precedent studies....mainly because my computer has been out of action. I have resolved a few issues that i have had over the past couple of weeks but technology has not been kind to me lately. Seeing how i cannot write much on progress.....below are my troubleshooting notes and research i have found helpful. The blog is turning out to be quite a good way of organising my ideas and progress.

notes:

make sure firewall settings on low

UAC off

try on uni lab computers

check the image files are .jpg not .JPG (if you have JGP.key files generated it will not work as it is expecting .jpg.key

"file not found" would seem the process hasn't worked to that point

the openGL error could be to do with the video card

try using different values in the Bundler process

try jumping to the next stage in process

SFMToolkit wont work either

no PMVS model generated

a really interesting reconstruction could be done of the streetscape/surrounding areas around a major landmark.

Choose a location which is changing a lot now and document that

Choose a tourist/landmark location that will have a lot of images; not necessarily in Australia.
