MicaSense Image Processing Setup

[job012]

In the MicaSense Image Processing Setup, I got after running

• first cell:

Successfully imported all required libraries. Successfully executed exiftool.

• second cell:

In a previous version of the repository, I didn't have this problem but still didn't make it till the end of Tutorial 1 because I got an error in the Undistorting images section. I realized the code version of the tutorials is different than the one I cloned. Can it be, that changes of the lastest version created some bugs?

I had the same issue today, I installed the whole things about one and a half years ago and it ran fine, now on a new PC, the same Error as as @job012. I solved the Problem by incrementally copying the the parts of the working enviroment to the to the not working one. The "solution" was to use an older Exiftoolversion, in my case 12.82, that got it up and running. This is not really a futureproof resolution, but it should get you started. I assume, that there are some teething problems with pyexiftool and the newer versions of exiftool.

@funny-name2 I used the Exiftoolversion 12.82, but it didnt solve the problem. Dont you think you solved the problem also by incrementally copying the the parts of the working enviroment to the to the not working one? @poynting @loicdtx @rrowlands Could you please tell how to solve this issue?

[job012]

@funny-name2 @rrowlands @loicdtx @rrowlands. I SOLVED the problem by just replacing in File ~\anaconda3\envs\micasense\lib\site-packages\exiftool\exiftool.py Line 363 abs_path = shutil.which(new_executable)

with

363 abs_path = os.environ.get('exiftoolpath')

NOW IT WORKS LIKE A CHARM

Thank you this solution worked for me!
