Multiple Bug found in Colmap 3.13.0 and Colmap 4.1.0

Author: ichsan2895Created Jul 18, 2026Updated Aug 21, 2026

Describe the bug

  1. colmap global_mapper (version 4.1.0) produces Mean reprojection error: 0.000000px, Mean observations per image: 0.000000, and Mean track length: 0.000000 when using colmap 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 1

  2. colmap 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 OPENCV

  3. colmap mapper (version 4.1.0, ceres backend) gets difficulty detecting all images when using colmap feature_extractor --ImageReader.camera_model EUCM --ImageReader.single_camera_per_image 1. It detected all images if I change it into OPENCV

  4. colmap stereo_fusion (both 4.1.0 and 3.13.0) does not detect images

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

Expected behavior

  1. The colmap global_mapper does not produce Mean reprojection error: 0.000000px when using FULL_OPENCV & EUCM

  2. Colmap ceres (Full_OpenCV & EUCM) should detect all images

  3. It detects images when running colmap stereo_fusion
