.ply file cannot be generated

[1gjjuser1]

I am on the local win10 system, run this command python prepare.py --action sfm --database_name custom/mouse --colmap F:\1AMy_source\Graduate student\transparent object\mine\Gen6D\COLMAP-3.8-windows-no -cuda\COLMAP-3.8-windows-no-cuda\bin\colmap.exe

The colmap/images/ and database.db files can be generated, but the .ply file cannot be generated, and the error message is as follows: D:\Anaconda\envs\gen\python.exe "F:\1AMy_source\Graduate student\transparent object\mine\Gen6D\code\prepare.py" --action sfm --database_name custom/mouse --colmap "F: \1AMy_source\Graduate\student\transparent object\mine\Gen6D\COLMAP-3.8-windows-no-cuda\COLMAP-3.8-windows-no-cuda\bin\colmap.exe" ��Ŀ¼����ļ� data\custom\mouse �Ѿ����ڡ� ����: data\custom\mouse ʱ���� Traceback (most recent call last): File "F:\1AMy_source\Graduate student\transparent object\mine\Gen6D\code\prepare.py", line 98, in build_colmap_model_no_pose(parse_database_name(args.database_name),args.colmap_path) File "F:\1AMy_source\Graduate student\transparent object\mine\Gen6D\code\colmap_script.py", line 99, in build_colmap_model_no_pose extract_and_match_sift(colmap_path, database_path, image_path) File "F:\1AMy_source\Graduate student\transparent object\mine\Gen6D\code\colmap_script.py", line 63, in extract_and_match_sift subprocess. run(cmd, check=True) File "D:\Anaconda\envs\gen\lib\subprocess.py", line 493, in run with Popen(*popenargs, **kwargs) as process: File "D:\Anaconda\envs\gen\lib\subprocess.py", line 858, in init self._execute_child(args, executable, preexec_fn, close_fds, File "D:\Anaconda\envs\gen\lib\subprocess.py", line 1311, in _execute_child hp, ht, pid, tid = _winapi.CreateProcess(executable, args, FileNotFoundError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified.

I have been searching for a long time but I can't find where the problem is, can you help me, thank you

This seems to be related to your COLMAP installation. You may try some other examples to check whether your COLMAP is working or not. I suggest to re-install COLMAP according to the instructions on COLMAP homepage.
