Meshroom: [bug] Feature extraction: Main Ui disapears, command line crashes shortly after

[lukasvoglcg]

Describe the bug
2020.1
On Feature extraction the main ui window flickers(not every time)then goes away completely. main command line crashes without error shortly after.
-On reopening the file it says Graph is being computed externally.
-Set of images worked without issues in earlier version

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Add images
2. Select FeatureExtraction and compute
3. See ui window flicker, then disapear, shortly after command line crashes as well

Expected behavior
main ui and command line should not crash.

Could you set the Max Nb Threads to 1, to see if the issue comes from the amount of RAM available.

[lukasvoglcg]

hi,
limiting the threads to 1 fixes the crash, yet leads to longer computation time.
i attached a screenshot of several resource monitors, maybe that helps.

here is some further info on the hardware, as i feel like my home workstation, if not new, probably is not that bad in terms of specs
i7 - 4790K @4GHz
32gb ddr3 ram
edit: maybe worth mentioning. photos are shot on a a7ii as .jpg @24mp 6000x4000 ~8mb
hope this helps. if i can do anything more please let me know.

[fabiencastan]

So according to your screenshot, it has not reached your RAM limit (when running with maxNbThread=0)?

[lukasvoglcg]

not as far as i can tell.
i am not entirely sure what hard faults are but there are some spikes just before crashing. left side of graph

[fabiencastan]

Ok, so it's a RAM issue. The OS kills the software as it uses too much RAM.
So now the question is: if we do not estimate correctly the RAM we will use per image (to determine the nb of threads) or if we do not read the right amount of RAM available correctly.
Thanks for the precise report.

In the meantime, you can test multiple values of maxNbThread to find one that works on your computer (but it will depend on the images resolution...).

[lukasvoglcg]

sure thing. will do. would it help if i sent you all the images via wetransfer?
the estimation sounds plausible to me as it does not make a difference if i run 10 images or all 70

[MisterX2000]

I've also noticed this issue in other nodes, for example meshing. But it appears to be more sporadically, especially when I click or switch windows while it operates, so if I just do nothing at the time, it mostly runs through flawlessly.

FWIW I have exactly the same problem as described by Lukasvoglcg.

[15:05:17.368516][info] Task done in (s): 21.726000

[akramparvez]

Same issue here, looks like meshroom GUI crashes and the Alice vision process continues until it finishes the chunk and then the console window closes.
Upon checking logs the task that was running when meshroom crashed is completed but the status files has it as running which causes the graphs being computed externally.
In cases this is a blocker for someone, Workaround would be to manually delete the pending chuck files and change the status file and restart the process.

[natowi]

For me the GUI crashed shortly after DepthMapFilter.
(Meshing: setIsOnSurface nbSurfaceFacets: 0
Abnormal program termination: received signal 21 (SIGBREAK))
I am unable to finish my small (40 images) dataset. Ram usage is 1-8gb / 32gb available.
The program terminates at different stages of the Meshing process.

--

I disabled "Refine Fuse" and set all three Max points to the minimum value. -> Meshing node finished without a GUI crash.
When I enabled "Refine Fuse" the GUI crashed.
On the next run I was able to run the Meshing node with the default parameters.

One other curious thing: The Issue I mentioned here https://github.com/alicevision/meshroom/issues/1101 is no longer an issue for this particular project.

When I ran the Meshing node again with a bounding box, the GUI crashed again.
Without "Refine Fuse" using the bounding box worked.

---

A second project now crashed with Feature Extraction.
CLI messages:

WARNING:root:== The following "submitters" plugins could not be loaded ==

• simpleFarmSubmitter: No module named 'simpleFarm'

WARNING:root:Missing plugin qtAliceVision.
WARNING:root:Missing plugin qtOIIO.

Previously the CLI window was empty on startup.

---

I can only use Feature Extraction "normal", "medium" and "low". Other settings crash the GUI.
Once I have a successful run, the next run with ultra settings works for whatever reason...

---

Meshroom crashed again at Meshing. The CLI shows this interesting message: "WARNING:root:Retrying to obtain clipboard."

---

Running FeatureExtraction with CCTAG enabled crashes the GUI.
The Windows Error log points to errors in the following files: meshroom_compute.exe - module with error: _psutil_windows.cp37-win_amd64.pyd & ucrtbase.dll

[natowi]

@fabiencastan The problem could be build related. I have built Meshroom on my system with python 3.6 and have had no crashes since. Looks like psutil v3.7 causes errors. Also the CLI is no longer empty and shows the expected "submitters" missing plugin message.

I have python 3.6 installed.

# runtime
psutil>=5.6.3
enum34;python_version<"3.4"
PySide2==5.13.0
markdown==2.6.11
requests==2.22.0

There are still some problems with FeatureExtraction and CCTAGs and the imageSync/overlay and frozen trackball (not reliably working - "WARNING:root:Ignored NaN, Inf, or -Inf value.") but no GUI crashes.

@lukasvoglcg @akramparvez @Silpher9 @andreasdss Can you test if this solves the crashes for you, too?
Download this build and copy the aliceVision & qtPlugins from the 2020.1.1 release in the extracted folder.

[akramparvez]

@natowi Tested it and its doesn't crash the GUI, But I do see the warning as you mentioned above.

[natowi]

@glbarak can you test if this resolves your problem?

Download this build and copy the aliceVision & qtPlugins from the 2020.1.1 release in the extracted folder.

[glbarak]

It did not solve the problem.
I also get now in the terminal window a message that module simplefarm not found

[natowi]

@glbarak the message "module simplefarm not found" is expected and nothing to worry about, since the Renderfarm Plugin is not supported by default and requires some additional setup.

[glbarak]

Just pointed it out since it did not appear in the 2020.1.1 version.
But as said- this build did not solve the problem

[natowi]

Some users (in issue 1093) report that running Meshroom in Windows 8 compatibility mode solves the crashing gui issue.
