Issue with image_groups to split

Hello,

I’m having trouble splitting work between nodes with no-GPS info images. I’m using ClusterODM, with some nodes that appears correctly connected. Docker desktop on Win10. The dataset consists of 283 images, and one image_groups.txt file in the project folder.

I used --split-overlap 0 as specified by doc for local split merge (https://docs.opendronemap.org/large.html).

This command worked, but I assume there is no split since --split is not used (I didn’t see any queue on any of the connected nodes too ? I didn’t watched during the whole process through):

docker run -ti --rm -v /c/datasets:/datasets opendronemap/odm --project-path /datasets test --split-overlap 0 --sm-cluster http://192.168.56.1:3000/ --split-image-groups /c/datasets/test/image_groups.txt

But when I’m trying to provide --split argument with :

docker run -ti --rm -v /c/datasets:/datasets opendronemap/odm --project-path /datasets test_split_bis --split 100 --split-overlap 0 --sm-cluster http://192.168.56.1:3000/ --split-image-groups /c/datasets/test_split_bis/image_groups.txt

(all image_groups have less than 100 images each)

It outputs the following :

I assumed it was not an issue with the data since it worked without split with the same data, and image_groups was provided as specified for no-GPS data.

This is interesting as I am seeing something somewhat similar with a dataset with split merge that contains GPS:

I did some more testing, I noted that when --split-image-groups is used, image_groups isn’t copied to opensfm (even with image_groups being in the project folder).

The error is different when not using --split-image-groups (so image_groups.txt is correctly copied to opensfm). With the following command :

docker run -ti --rm -v /c/datasets:/datasets opendronemap/odm --project-path /datasets test --split 20 --split-overlap 0 --sm-cluster http://172.17.0.3:3000/ --matcher-neighbors 0 --matcher-type bow --feature-type hahog
