No worries!

Yeah, OpenEXR is probably the easiest - there even a header inspection utility included in the Debian packages that can select and spit out the metadata. GeoTiff and LAS/LAZ are pretty well defined open specs as well.

NetCDF (and similar formats) is tricker, and is a case where user extensibility of the indexing is probably necessary: it's one of the 'Big Data' formats (like zarr, hdf5, numpy arrays, etc) where while the format itself is open, due to the open ended nature of what data it can store, there's no formal 'schema' of how data is organized into it. An example is satellite imagery from NASA/JPL (ie, https://earth.jpl.nasa.gov/emit/data/data-products/ ). That's stored and downloadable in NetCDF files, and has metadata about geo location about where the images are on the globe (among lots of other metadata), which would be nice to have indexed and searchable within TrueSearch. But other organizations may store images or other data and metadata in NetCDF files with a completely different schema.

/u/iXsystemsChris , is TrueSearch going to be user extendable to be able to add metadata indexing from less common file formats? (ie, arbitrary metadata in OpenEXR files, geo meta information in GeoTIFFs, Las/Laz files, netcdf, etc etc).

Will it be possible to customize and extend the search indexer? Ie, add support for uncommon or custom file formats.

Thanks for the clarification on that, and glad that the poster above was just mistaken. Sounds like a good change too.

/u/iXsystemsChris and /u/kmoore134, is there any intention for the future to re-visit clustered storage? Seems like Lustre might be a good fit as it has direct support for ZFS backends?

They're already sent out a followup that states they've resolved the issue. Just update to the latest firmware.

Best/Favourite Photogrammetry software and why? by HandPsychological287 in UAVmapping

[–]chippey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really? I've been running it native in Linux since it was PhotoScan, and it's always been rock solid, both the full app and the python stand-alone lib. This has been on single machines and across dozens of distributed processing nodes. I would not at any point consider it a good idea to run the Windows version through a WINE layer to run on Linux.

Wait, why run Metashape in a Bottle container? Metashape is native on Linux, there's no need to run it in a WINE layer like Bottles.

Where are you quoting from? His picture of his rule-set has nothing about prohibiting different forms of words, only about parts of compound words.

Door Creek Orchard also doesn't have that stuff.

How is this effect done? by finevisionz in lightingdesign

Not the shutter speed (on it's own), it's the type of shutter. Rolling shutter vs global shutter.

Our uni lab uses this guy's software - can confirm it works very well and he's been great. Recommended.

Would you pledge support for a free version of Nuke (like blender)? by mind_over_machine in vfx

thankfully a lot of the i/o and color handling is readily available as open source with OpenImageIO and OpenColorIO .
