Mismatch between number of poses and images

[asad-ak]

Hello, I wanted to ask why does this issue arise?
I am trying to run a nerf repo on the folder containing "sparse/0" and "poses_bounds.npy" file.

Why does this occur that the poses generated are less in number than the total images in the "images" folder?

[asad-ak]

poses_bounds = np.load(os.path.join(self.root_dir, 'poses_bounds.npy')) # (N_images, 17) self.image_paths = sorted(glob.glob(os.path.join(self.root_dir, 'images/*'))) # load full resolution image then resize if self.split in ['train', 'val']: assert len(poses_bounds) == len(self.image_paths), \ 'Mismatch between number of images and number of poses! Please rerun COLMAP!'

I have the same problem.
The fact is that there are a lot of steps to install the various requirements (vcpkg, colmap, etc) and each of them has shown an error.
For example, I wasn't able to build colmap from source on my Windows machine, so I just downloaded the pre-built binaries and set an environment variable to the colmap.bat/exe path (I guess it should work anyway).
By the way, I have something like 100 images spherically captured (so there should be little difference between two adjacent pics), but running the commands suggested in #36 (comment) gives me 0 good pairing images, so that imgs2poses.py generates only 2 poses.

Anyone figured out a possible solution?

The same error.
I wonder what type data do we need to run demo.sh , images in JPG,PNG format is enough?

@LianShuaiLong I do not think the format is a problem. I tested it with fern dataset which has images in JPG and it worked fine.

I think it does not work when the dataset is not compatible.
I am also looking for a workaround. If anyone figures out a solution, do let me know.

Thanks!

@shreyk25 I remember sampling different number of images from a video (captured at 30FPS) for ex: 1 image/sec, 5 images/sec 8 images/sec, and ran the images2poses.py until I get one pose per image. Its kind of not a good way of doing it but it solved my purpose.

Hi, I am testing it on a 360 degree scene and have captured 200 images and still it doesn't seem to work :(

Hi, this blog provide a solution.

At end of the blog, he said, it may be caused by function incompatibility. The solution is: copy your data from folder images to folder images_8.
