Issue with opensfm reconstruction

Ivan · 19 April 2021 20:23

Good day to everyone. Please help me with one problem. I have recently installed ODM (version: 2.4.10) natively on Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS by your description steps declared on the web page. Installation was done great, without any problem during it. After installation, I downloaded the attached sample image dataset (Aukerman) to test if everything is ok with the ODM installation. When I ran ODM natively, all steps were successfully accomplished before step OpenSfM reconstruction. I used all default settings set by default ODM installation during ODM execution, except project path (for project path, I was using a new created folder “project” in the main ODM-master folder). After running and finish the step OpenSfM reconstruction, ODM tells me that “The program could not process this dataset using the current settings. Check that the images have enough overlap, that there are enough recognizable features, and that the images are in focus. You could also try to increase the --min-num-features parameter. The program will now exit.”. I will paste you all report from the terminal of ODM.

I thought that everything would be going great with the attached sample images. But as you can see, it does not. So I had tried to change the setting -min-num-features parameter (-min-num-features parameter: 20000) of the project, but the error still exists. I think that maybe the problem is in OpenSfM because it can’t create file reconstruction.json. But I don’t know. Please help me because I don’t know what to do anymore to fix this problem. Thank you.

Do you have the proper permissions to read/write/execute that directory from docker/ODM?

Ivan · 19 April 2021 22:24

Thank you so much for your quick response. I have run command ./run.sh with the sudo role, and nothing has been changed. The issue is still here. If i do something wrong please correct me. Thank you. I may mention that I don’t run ODM via docker. I got installed ODM native on my own PC. Do you maybe have any other ideas?

rligocki · 27 April 2021 09:19

Same thing happened to me. Dataset with 377 images was not processed. Same error. Tried smaller dataset, still same problem. Other software (Pix4D, Metashape) are able to process these data.

Saijin_Naib · 27 April 2021 11:21

Are both of you able to share your datasets?

Ivan · 27 April 2021 12:35

Thank you for your response. I don’t need to share my dataset Aukerman because it is already available and can be download from the official ODM web page (https://github.com/OpenDroneMap/odm_data_aukerman/archive/master.zip).

I tried this one from sensefly for testing purposes: https://s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/senseflycom/datasets/johnson-quarry/RGB+img.zip

I really don’t know anymore where the problem is. I tried almost everything that is in my knowledge. I have attempted to install the latest version of software ODM on different PCs with Ubuntu 20.04.2.0 LTS, and change nearly all possible parameters in settings.yaml file, and the issue is still here. Since I don’t know how to fix the problem, it seems to me that the only solution is to install software ODM v2.0.0. on UBUNTU 18.04.5 LTS, because this was the only approach when I was successfully and fully run software ODM. My only regret is that I won’t be able to use newer versions of ODM more than version 2.0.0, with their latest improvements and novel features. But I have to mention that ODM v2.0.0 is also perfect, and I am very grateful that it works. Thank you.

Saijin_Naib · 29 April 2021 20:45

Why don’t you try the ODM snap image? It is up to date and doesn’t have any of these dependency issues.

rligocki · 3 May 2021 10:16

So you think, that problem might be in version of Ubuntu? Or you think it might be in version of ODM?

I installed snap image (sudo snap install --edge opendronemap), but I get error:

Saijin_Naib · 3 May 2021 12:34

How are you getting that error? What command are you issuing?

rligocki · 3 May 2021 14:14

After installation of snap image, I used “opendronemap” command.

rligocki · 3 May 2021 14:15

WebODM works with latest version on Ubuntu 18.04. Looks like newer version of Ubuntu caused main problem in this thread.

Saijin_Naib · 3 May 2021 14:16

So an upstream problem in Ubuntu? Do you know what component?
