BlendedMVS training does not work

[Eren121]

Hello,

I try to train MVSNet with BlendedMVS.
I just can't make it work with a very simple setup:

• No modification to the code
• python2 train.py --train_blendedmvs --blendedmvs_data_root /data/blendedmvs --regularization '3DCNNs' --max_w 768 --max_h 576 --max_d 128 --online_augmentation --model_folder /data/tf_model (just like in the readme)

But I got this error. Complete Python log is:

Any idea?
Thank you.

I have the same problem , how you solved it ?

I encountered the same problem. After debugging, I found that it was a file name error. The details are as follows：
preprocess.py
line 438 "ref_image_path = os.path.join(dataset_folder, 'blended_images', '%08d_masked.jpg' % ref_idx)" just delete "_masked"
line 446 the same error.
