I have the same error,any suggestion?

[stone100010]

I ended up with a colmap installation error with "Python imgs2 poses.py Fern / "can be run without error. Follow the" Official Guide to colmap "to install," apt get install colmap "may not be useful.If you have any questions, please contact me in time. I'm willing to help you as much as I can.

[stone100010]

Step 1: "scenedir / images /" file structure, run as follows to get the data set made by colmap

python imgs2 poses.py <your_ scenedir>

Step 2: check that the created file directory has "fern file structure" and copy it to "nerf project file directory"

Step 3: modify "config"_ fern.txt ”Folder path and name

Step 4: clear all files under "log /", and execute "Python run"_ nerf.py --config config_ fern.txt ”At the same time, you should run "tensorboard -- logdir = logs / summaries -- port = 6006" in the same Anaconda environment and corresponding file directory!

At this point, you start the model training and tensorboard training query. The browser can use the“ localhost:6006 ”Check it out, nice~~

Hi @stone100010 I seem to have the same error. How did you end up solving the issue? I built colmap from source following the installation guide on the official page.

window or ubunntu ? @ @AbbyLuHui

@stone100010 I met the same problem on Ubuntu 18.04, Did you recompile your boost library?

[stone100010]

Thank you. My problem has been solved.Others who have the same question can contact me.

Hi @stone100010 I seem to have the same error. How did you end up solving the issue? I built colmap from source following the installation guide on the official page.

I solved the exact problem with u with 3 steps:

1. recompile boost with your gcc version, mine is boost 1.65-1 and gcc 5.50
2. change the cmake boost path to make sure you are linking the right boost
3. manually recompile colmap.

But then I still met the same problem.

So I ran these three lines in terminal:
colmap feature_extractor --database_path $DATASET_PATH/database.db --image_path $DATASET_PATH/images

colmap sequential_matcher --database_path $DATASET_PATH/database.db

colmap mapper --database_path $DATASET_PATH/databse.db --image_path $DATASET_PATH/images --output_path $DATASET_PATH/sparse

I found out colmap works fine but the database maybe bad which led no matching image. I changed my database, finally the code python imgs2poses.py /path/to/your/dataset works.

I recommend you strongly to test your output with above three commands to see if it's the problem of colmap or your dataset.

[stone100010]

well,it's a good idea!

[AbbyLuHui]

Thank you for your help! Just solved the problem.

Hello @FrankZhang0309 I am having the same problem. Can you give more information on "I changed my database"?.

@AbbyLuHui can you tell how you solved the problem?

[Jiakai-Zhang]

@foocross As I said, the dataset is too bad, so COLMAP can not match the images. So ran the three commands I mentioned to see if your images are paired.

[cuixianguang]

@FrankZhang0309 U are right. I met the same error with my own data. When I input the images of flowers provided by the author, the error disappeared.

Hello, I am running colmap and it is generating the same error that you raise, I have tried to follow the steps for the solution that they pose @stone100010 @Jiakai-Zhang and I still have the same problem. Could someone help? Thanks!

Hi, I have fixed the issue at #60
Beside the pose_boundary.npy will be generated, it also will generate view_imgs.txt to mark which views are used.
