I ran into a bug I haven’t encountered before while working in RC tonight. This was a project that worked without issue previously, and is now throwing a “physical end of the tape has been reached” error. My other projects open, but I am worried I won’t be able to work with this project anymore, and that this may happen to other projects in the future.
This project is one I could re run but I have a few 15,000+ cam models which would really suck to lose like this. Can anyone help? (Apologies if this is in the wrong spot, if so please point me in the right direction!)
Hi @ttrockiryba2,
was this already saved project? What kind of data have you used there?
Do you have enough space on your discs? It seems like a drive is completely full.
How big is that project?
Can you try the application’s reset (Reset RealityCapture) and then try to open your project again?
Yes, this project was already completed and saved. Plenty of space in my drive for the cache and project files.
It is a simple project processed from video. Nothing crazy like my big projects. Prob between 50-200 cams if I had to guess, but I forget exactly. Not the type of project RC usually complains about so I was surprised to run into this.
I will try the reset now and report back with my results. Thank you for your help. PS, been a while, is Wishgranter still kicking around here? I remember he helped with some early projects of mine in 2016. Good people in these 'here forums ill tell you awhat.
EDIT: Resetting RC following the link above did not solve the problem
Hi, is your project saved on the internal disk? Is it possible that you are using networked drive in your process somewhere?
Can you check in which version was the project created (open RCPROJ file in Notepad and there will be the used version in the first line)?
Are you opening the project directly by clicking on the icon or through the application?
Hi, my project is saved on the external hard drive, plenty of space on it but the same problem occurred and I think I lost all the job that was done overnight. Any help?
This happens when I try to import a COLMAP dataset that was created outside RS2.
Dataset is not huge, it has 344 images left& right, but I suspect the points3D.txt is causing it grief; Is there any restrictions with data that comes from a LiDAR dense cloud?
Number of registered points in the points3D.txt file are 4,936,434 is that too much for RS2??
found a referece for this bug here on dicord/ lichtfeld channrl, apparently it has to do with unwanted spaces at tge end of the line, quote: "Unbeeeliiieeeevable!!! … it’s all about a single space. At the end of a line. The second line of an image pair in images.txt, usually very long, is an array, POINTS2D as (X, Y, POINT3D_ID), spaces btween each value - and the very last item, from a COLMAP processing, has a space following that last POINT3D_ID. The RC export of same doesn’t. Simply use some editor to get rid of all trailing spaces in images.txt, and RC should be happy doing an import of the project …
Not obvious, visually; and a compare fails because number of significant figures differs - on first glance that could be the issue - but isn’t."
