Exception: No mapprojected tif tiles were generated for Pléiades image

[Marin Kneib]

Dear ASP community,

I've recently had to reinstall entirely ASP on my new windows computer, via a docker container, following the instructions here: https://github.com/dshean/stereohack/blob/master/Ames%20Stereo%20Pipeline%20on%20Windows

I've installed the ASP version 3.3.0 and then ran the usual commands that have always worked for me so far to stereo-process a Pléiades image pair, but encountered a problem at the very first step, when trying to mapproject the first image:

mapproject -t rpc --t_srs "+proj=utm +zone=32 +ellps=WGS84 +datum=WGS84 +units=m +no_defs" --tr 0.5 $refDEM $img1 $rpc1 ./RESULTS_2017_10_07_1/proj1.tif

I get the following error:

Query finished, exiting mapproject tool.

Output image size is 42963 by 44366 pixels.
Splitting into 9 by 9 tiles.

I am not really sure what is happening, if you have any idea, please let me low!

It looks like the third-party GNU Parallel tool that we ship does not like your version of Perl. 

Maybe you can check your Linux version in docker and install something newer. Ubuntu 18 and newer should work.

Or, you can pull an older version of GNU Parallel from somewhere and overwrite what we ship at  /ASP/StereoPipeline-3.3.0-Linux/libexec/parallel.

Hello Marin,

If you want a pre-configured ASP 3.3.0 docker image with newer ubuntu, you could also try this docker image from docker-hub: docker.io/uwcryo/asp-binder:9e07dd1ff9db

Cheers,

Shashank

Oh wow, those instructions are from the 2016 GeoHackWeek Event!  We should probably retire.  

Latest “official” guidance on using ASP on Windows is here: https://stereopipeline.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html#precompiled-binaries-linux-and-macos

I think it would make sense to have a dedicated subsection header for Windows in the installation doc (https://stereopipeline.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html#), as I expect there are many others out there who want to try running ASP on Windows.  This section can be short, with instructions to install WSL (with link to MS instructions https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install), then download the desired Linux tar.bz2, extract and run a test.  Some of this might still be a little confusing for beginners, so best to be more explicit here on all steps, to help get people up and running.

There is currently nothing on the official ASP installation doc about docker.  Can potentially link to the https://github.com/uw-cryo/asp-binder repo and the resulting containers, which Shashank is working to clean up for the interactive notebook tutorials.  Moving forward, it might also make sense to include a dedicated section on cloud deployment, with recommended instance types for the Linux builds.

Hi everyone,

Thanks a lot for your swift and detailed replies! Following your advice, I've changed to ASP version 3.1.0 and re-installed the GNU parallel that correpsonded. Works perfect.

Cheers!

Marin
