PotreeConverter 1.7 - Linux out of memory #528

Open Nevernat opened 3 years ago

Nevernat commented 3 years ago

PotreeConverter 1.7 converting a .LAS file with this command:

PotreeConverter /data/cloud.las -o /data/output/ --projection '+proj=utm +zone=32 +datum=WGS84 +units=m +no_defs'

we have found these different behaviors in the RAM occupation on different operating systems:

Windows 10 image

Linux Ubuntu 18.04 image

Even with the "flush limit" parameter the graph curve does not change. On Linux OS the memory occupation increase by a step every flush and, if the weight of the LAS is greater than the size of the available RAM, the process often crashes (out of memory).

Is it possible to get the same RAM management behavior on Linux OS as on Windows? Anyone ever had problems like this? possible fix?

Thank you

Hi, did you get this fixed? It seems for me on linux its also consuming a lot of ram (granted, for a very large number of points though).
