Hey @yingyi-ma could you please elaborate further?

ok. I update my issue and upload a Flow chart pic.

description：122 pictures are ortho-spliced according to 50 segmentation. There are four nodes. When splicing, they are not allocated to three nodes for splicing, but to 1-2-3 for splicing, then 1-2-4 for splicing and then 1-4 for processing. I want to ask why the nodes are changed in this way instead of fixed for three nodes for processing.

thanks.

So the algorithm "rotates" the nodes and pick ones that have not been used in a while (if all other factors are equal). This is to minimize the chance that a node might receive two tasks simultaneously (if they are uploaded at the same time), without using locks.

If this is not a desired behavior, you can always comment out https://github.com/OpenDroneMap/ClusterODM/blob/master/libs/nodes.js#L183 and keep bestNode.turn to zero.
