COLMAP feature extraction failed in Colab

[Keloyi531]

Change SiftExtraction.use_gpu to FeatureExtraction.use_gpu in convert.py doesn't work for me, the implementing result is stuck at feature extraction process.

I installed colmap and imagemagick:

#install colmap 
!sudo apt update !sudo apt install -y colmap 
#install imageMagik
!sudo apt install -y imagemagick

Then put all the images in folder: /content/input, and change directory to gaussian-splatting %cd /content/gaussian-splatting.
Finally convert image: !python convert.py -s /content/input.

When use FeatureExtraction.use_gpu in convert.py, the error shows can't recognize FeatureExtraction:

ERROR: Failed to parse options - unrecognised option '--FeatureExtraction.use_gpu'.
ERROR:root:Feature extraction failed with code 256. Exiting.

When use SiftExtraction.use_gpu in convert.py, the error shows can't find image path:

[option_manager.cc:811] Check failed: ExistsDir(*image_path)
ERROR: Invalid options provided.
ERROR:root:Feature extraction failed with code 256. Exiting.

Does anyone know how to fix it?

try python convert.py -s /content/, not python convert.py -s /content/input

I'm having the same problem, can you tell me how to fix it?

Run convert.py with the parent folder of input.
For exmaple, path of images is /content/whatever/input/*.png, run as this way !python convert.py -s /content/whatever/.
No need to revise code in convert.py.
