Error-[option_manager.cc:811] Check failed: ExistsDir(*image_path)

I made it to "Get transform.json" successfully. However when I use the command: python scripts/colmap2nerf.py --colmap_matcher exhaustive --run_colmap --aabb_scale 16 --images /image/vibe I get the error below.

I am using an admin terminal, and have tried the conda prompt as well. I am in the data directory of the repo C:\stable-diffusion\instant-ngp\data. My goal is to create a directory named 'vibe' where I am going to put my photos.

instant-ngp-
                    |_data-
                              |_image-
                                           |_vibe

I'm so close after days of resolving an issue with Git and Windows ASLR!
What am I doing wrong, and what info can I give to help? I am on Windows 10x64.

Stuck on this step as well, did you ever figure it out?

In order to solve this, you have to put the entire directory after --images, so instead of:

--images /image/vibe

It should be:

C:\stable-diffusion\instant-ngp\data_image_vibe

Ensure it's the full dir, including user and everything.

Hope this helps!

@KultidGames Thanks! It works. How I was able to run it:
C:...\scripts\colmap2nerf.py --colmap_matcher exhaustive --run_colmap --images C:...\images --aabb_scale 16 --overwrite
