In order to install colmap to process the data set, I went through a lot of pitfalls, so I will briefly note them.
1. Address:
Source code address: GitHub - colmap/colmap: COLMAP - Structure-from-Motion and Multi-View Stereo
Document address: Installation — COLMAP 3.9-dev documentation
2. Installation steps
2.1 Install ceres-solver
For this installation of 1.14.0, I tried a total of three versions, one directly from the official website and one 2.0, and all errors were reported.
I found 1.14.0 online and installed it smoothly.
After decompression, it is basically
mkdir ceres-bin
cd ceres-bin
cmake ..
make -j42.2 Summary of problems installing colmap
Main reference: For some error reports, you can read this
First of all, a very critical point is the version:
In short, it should go smoothly if you go back to version 3.7. Most of the problems behind it are other versions.
git checkout 3.7This is the installation introduction from the official website:
1. Install dependent libraries
2. Download colmap and then roll back the version to dev and then cmake make install three-piece set.
But there is actually a problem:
Currently, it is easy to install dependent libraries and git. Then the rollback of the version failed. After searching for a long time, it seemed that the dev tag had been deleted by the author. After that, the 3.8 version downloaded in September 23 reported a lot of errors:
To summarize some of the problems with version 3.8, as well as several versions that also used 3.6, all failed (if 3.7 doesn’t work, you can try other versions):
The problems encountered previously are:
1. cuda problem:
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:255 (message):
You must set CMAKE_CUDA_ARCHITECTURES to e.g. 'native', 'all-major', '70',
etc. More information at
https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/prop_tgt/CUDA_ARCHITECTURES.html
-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
See also "/home/mona/OnePose_Plus_Plus/submodules/colmap/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".
The solution is:
cmake .. -DCMAKE_CUDA_ARCHITECTURES=native
cmake .. -DCMAKE_CUDA_ARCHITECTURES=all
cmake .. -DCMAKE_CUDA_ARCHITECTURES=70
However, the first two may not be solved, and the next 70 require command line input.
nvidia-smi --query-gpu=compute_cap --format=csvLook, if it is 8.6, write 86, and if 6.1, write 61, it may not be 70.
2. The gcc g++ version is not enough, change it to 7.0
Roughly error: unable to find numeric literal operator 'operator""Q'
I kind of forgot about it. I searched online and found that the version of gcc and g++ was not enough. I checked and it was 5.5. I just upgraded to 7.0.
Inquire:
gcc -v
g++ -v3. Undefined reference
Just a bunch of undefined references, read the article mentioned above, change the folder name of anaconda3, and finally change it back after the installation is completed.
undefined reference to `TIFFReadEncodedStrip@LIBTIFF_4.0`
undefined reference to `TIFFReadEXIFDirectory@LIBTIFF_4.0`
undefined reference to `TIFFFieldReadCount@LIBTIFF_4.0`
undefined reference to `TIFFSetTagExtender@LIBTIFF_4.0`
undefined reference to `TIFFCurrentDirectory@LIBTIFF_4.0`
undefined reference to `TIFFReadTile@LIBTIFF_4.0`
undefined reference to `TIFFSetDirectory@LIBTIFF_4.0`
undefined reference to `TIFFClientOpen@LIBTIFF_4.0`4. Undefined reference
Similar to the above, when installing version 3.6, an undefined reference is encountered when making 100%

It was another file at that time, but the change was not successful.
