GPU or CPU usage for Meshroom photogrametry

[Doyle Trankina]

 

Hello,

 

I am wondering if you know  if Meshroom for photogrammetry will rely on the CPU or GPU? I am wondering because I want to use it but not sure if I have good enough specs on my laptop.

 

Thanks

I use it on my laptop & it recognizes my Nvidia 930M GPU if that helps. Probably easiest to leave settings as default & try loading a few images & hit "Start" to test. Mind you it can take some time to process Depthmaps etc depending on how many images/cameras are loaded & you can turn down some settings in Meshing to reduce the processing required as well. You'll find a lot of us are still waiting for documentation to come out so we can use Meshroom a lot more efficiently then currently. Hopefully sooner than later. Good luck.
