Selecting Every Second Image to Speed Up Image Processing
How to select only half of all the images to speed up the processing.
Introduction
Welcome! Today, we’ll demonstrate a trick to speed up image processing by selecting only every second image instead of importing the full set.
Reducing Image Selection for Faster Image Processing
In this example, we’re working with an open-pit mine project containing over 2,800 images with high overlap (80%+). Processing all images would take too long, so we’ll select every second image to significantly reduce processing time.
Steps to Select Every Second Image
- Open your project and navigate to image import.
- Resize the window to view more images, then manually select every second image.
- Once selected, import these images with EXIF data.
Results
By halving the image count to 1,400, the setup and processing will be much faster, without compromising model quality due to high overlap.
Conclusion
This method efficiently reduces processing time while maintaining data quality for high-overlap projects.
