I haven’t done that number of images before, but that time sounds reasonable. Yesterday I processed about 1200 images in Agisoft Metashape. Alignment took about an hour, generating a high quality point cloud another 9 hours or so.
I’ve only been doing this for about a month, and have tried DJI Terra, Pix4D, and now Agisoft. I never got good results with Terra.

Pix4D did 30 hours one time, 625 images. It was when we just started working at home and I only had my field laptop, it was a higher end but not workstation equivalent. Then I figured out how to run it remotely on my office workstation but it still took 18 hours.
Now I have a workstation equivalent laptop which is far faster than the old one. My workstation is gone and I have 2 docking stations, one in home office and one in office.

I’ll be honest, I didn’t know Terra did images. I only use it for LiDAR from my L1. A large project like that would be better suited for Pix4Dmatic, if you have it.

30 hours? Was that with an Apple IIe? J/K! There’s all kinds of settings to make the processing slower or faster. I did one earlier this week with 867 images and it took around 8 hours. I had one with 2k images that took 19 hours a couple months ago. They could do better but I pull the CPU slider back a little and so it can process in the background while I work on other things. My work station is nothing special really.

Time to upgrade my workstation. I’d be looking at weeks for that many images.
