Error when importing photos

[ghost]

When I tried to do my first scan the process stopped on FeatureExtraction and the loading bar turned red. Now when I try to import photos into the program I get this error:

I think it was my Antivirus, since I can now import images after Whitelisting Meshroom, however, I'm now getting this error:

This error means what it says, there are no matches in that file. Try putting describer preset to High or Ultra, sift+akaze matching to get the best chance of finding matches.

@Chaks243 did you manage to go beyond FeatureMatching or are you still stuck?

@Chaks243 I have the same problem as you. How do you solve this problem？

I have the same problem but only with some images. Especially photos taken with Samsung Galaxy S9 (Front camera). I removed the exif data using convert -strip input.jpg output.jpg now I can import the file into meshroom. One problem s that when I remove the exif data, my picture gets rotated, so I needed to convert -rotate -90 output.jpt output.jpg.

This is just a quick fix for me. If one of the devs wants to try to import that picture, here is one of these pics.

Hey @millsoft,

I'm also facing this issue having used a Samsung Galaxy S9 Front camera. Could you add a little more info to your solution; for instance, where can convert be found and how should it be run? Is this part of the Meshroom installation or some other third party application?

Thanks for taking the time to post your solution btw.

Same issue here. I grabbed 20 screenshots from a 3d site as a trial, and get stuck with

@Fehrox

the convert command is a software that is a part of image magick - available for linux / windows / mac.. Meshroom tries to read the exif meta data from the images and something is not right about the exif stored in S9 images.

This is still happening to me even with Exif data removed.
