colmap - Unsupported gpu architecture 'compute_native’

Problem

Compiling colmap failed with error message Unsupported gpu architecture 'compute_native’.

Solution

Check your GPU's Compute Capability. For example, GeForce RTX 3090 has Compute Capability 8.6, then compile with the number:

cmake .. -GNinja -DCMAKE_CUDA_ARCHITECTURES=86

CUDA Installation failed.

You appear to be running an X server. Installing the NVIDIA driver while X is running is not recommended

$ sudo sh cuda_12.4.1_550.54.15_linux.run
 Installation failed. See log at /var/log/cuda-installer.log for details.

Check the cuda-installer.log.

Set up automatic mounting for the disk during boot time.

Filesystem Status Check

Check the current filesystem status and how they are mounted on your computer.

$ mount

/dev/nvme0n1p1 on /boot/efi type vfat (rw,relatime,fmask=0077,dmask=0077,codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro)

Model Summary of the GroundingDINO

If you encountered a KeyError: 'captions' when trying to run summary(model), it is because GroundingDINO creates its own class GroundingDINO with various customized layers.

First, use torchinfo instead of torchsummary because both torchsummary and torch-summary were deprecated long ago.

However, you will need to make a small modification to the torchinfo.py file in your environment's site-packages directory. For example, you can find it at: /home/{user}/miniconda3/envs/GroundingDINO/lib/python3.8/site-packages/torchinfo/torchinfo.py.

Add a few lines of code here.
