Cannot load GCP File

[ECO38]

Hi all,

I am trying to upload a .csv delimited GCP file for a test project but after a few attempts I keep getting this message: Cannot upload Leigh Park WebODM.csv, exceeded max retries (10),

I can process the model without the GCP’s but it won’t let me add them retrospectively either. How do I get around this issue?

I only found one other topic with this error in the forum and it has not been answered.

Welcome!

Are you able to post the file here so we can take a look at it?

Apologies as I am a new user the forum does not allow me to upload the file. I will however copy paste it’s content into this response sir. Apologies for how it looks but the values all sit underneath the respective headers for GCP Label, Y, X and Z. I will also try and obtain a screencapture of the error message I get and post that as a response to this thread.

GCP Label Y X Z
1 150460.712 386185.801 68.121
2 150433.74 386175.802 67.879
3 150421.51 386219.891 68.644
4 150460.046 386214.878 68.148
5 150458.326 386199.733 68.505
6 150476.712 386198.077 68.452

This is the screen snip of the error I get when I try to upload the GCP.csv file

Leigh Park WebODM.csv

If the above text you pasted represents exactly what is in your CSV, it makes sense the upload fails as it is not a traditional comma-separated CSV, but instead space-separated/delimited.

GCP Editor Pro gives us this warning:

Replacing spaces with commas indicates that this is still malformed:

Removing the “Label” column header fixes that:

I’m not super confident you surveyed at the North Pole, so I think either your Y or X values (maybe both?) are missing a sign to indicate South/West.

Here’s what the content of this CSV looks like:

GCP,Y,X,Z
1,150460.712,386185.801,68.121
2,150433.74,386175.802,67.879

5,150458.326,386199.733,68.505

Thanks makes sense, North pole? It seems as though my X and Y values swapped round in the conversion from WGS84 to EPSG:27700 (OSGB36). Much appreciated. Will probably use the GCP editor in WebODM to make a GCP file that way I can be certain it will work.

Much appreciated
