Multiple Bug found in Colmap 3.13.0 and Colmap 4.1.0
Describe the bug
colmap global_mapper (version 4.1.0) produces
Mean reprojection error: 0.000000px, Mean observations per image: 0.000000, and Mean track length: 0.000000when usingcolmap feature_extractor --ImageReader.camera_model FULL_OPENCV --ImageReader.single_camera_per_image 1&colmap feature_extractor --ImageReader.camera_model EUCM --ImageReader.single_camera_per_image 1colmap mapper (version 3.13.0 and 4.1.0, ceres backend) gets difficulty detecting all images when using
colmap feature_extractor --ImageReader.camera_model FULL_OPENCV --ImageReader.single_camera_per_image 1. It detected all images if I change it into OPENCVcolmap mapper (version 4.1.0, ceres backend) gets difficulty detecting all images when using

To Reproduce See my uploaded HTML. I run it through Jupyter Notebook. Dataset used: The first of 20 images of south-building.

Expected behavior
The colmap global_mapper does not produce
Mean reprojection error: 0.000000pxwhen using FULL_OPENCV & EUCMColmap ceres (Full_OpenCV & EUCM) should detect all images
It detects images when running
colmap stereo_fusion
