Mar 28 2026 APP 2.0.0-beta40 will be released in 7 days.
It did take a long time to have the work finished on this and it will have a major performance boost of 30-50% over 2.0.0-beta39 from calibration to integration. We extensively optimized many critical parts of APP. All has been tested to guarantee correct optimizations. Drizzle and image resampling is much faster for instance, those modules have been completely rewritten. Much less memory usage. LNC 2.0 will be released which works much better and faster than LNC in it's current state. And more, all will be added to the release notes in the coming weeks...
Update on the 2.0.0 release & the full manual
We are getting close to the 2.0.0 stable release and the full manual. The manual will soon become available on the website and also in PDF format. Both versions will be identical and once released, will start to follow the APP release cycle and thus will stay up-to-date to the latest APP version.
Once 2.0.0 is released, the price for APP will increase. Owner's license holders will not need to pay an upgrade fee to use 2.0.0, neither do Renter's license holders.
Hello, I was pretty happy to see that APP uses dynamics RAM, but I have a question, is it possible to increase or decrease RAM that APP used?
Thanks a lot.
@alexlee24 That version allocates all but 2 or 4 Gb of the system memory and only uses of that what it needs. This cannot be lowered. Since APP only uses what it needs, and this usually is much less than the available memory, the performance of the rest of the system shouldn't be affected.
Why would you want to be able to configure this yourself?
@wvreeven I have 32Gb RAM(Kingston 2666 8gb*4), and show APP can maximum use 28Gb of 32Gb, but some time APP or Windows10(resolution) will crash when start processing, I'm not sure is RAM problem or what, but it nearly uses full of 28Gb(become red) before my PC has a problem.
The solution for me and now is to do nothing and just waiting APP to finish his job. 🤣Â
Thanks.
@alexlee24 When APP is using the allocated 28 Gb of memory, what are you processing? Are you perhaps trying to create a big mosaic or processing a LOT of data?
@wvreeven Yes, about a total of 7000s files with 3-degree LNC and 20% MBB.
@alexlee24 Do you really need the LNC? It is very resource intensive and in most cases not necessary at all.Â
If you do need it, consider splitting up the data set into smaller batches of, say, 1000 files or even less. Once done with all batches, you can load the individual integration results (one per batch) as light (don't load any calibration data) and integrate those together into a final result.Â
@wvreeven Ok, I will try. Big thanks! 😀Â
