Global Wheat Head Dataset 2021 Released

I believe that the entire dataset (including bounding box for test images) is released here: https://zenodo.org/record/5092309 1

This dataset is mentioned in the new paper “Global Wheat Head Dataset 2021 1” , in the “Code & Data Section”

I did a quick look, and I found that image filenames are changed.

Redmine Installation Problems in Ubuntu 18.04.03

Problems encountered while installing Redmine 3.4.4 in Ubuntu 18.04.03

PROBLEM #1 Cannot Build SQLite3

# gem update
Updating installed gems
Updating sqlite3
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing sqlite3:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

current directory: /var/lib/gems/2.5.0/gems/sqlite3-1.4.1/ext/sqlite3
/usr/bin/ruby2.5 -r ./siteconf20190813-10918-113tafq.rb extconf.rb
checking for sqlite3.h... no
sqlite3.h is missing. Try 'brew install sqlite3',
'yum install sqlite-devel' or 'apt-get install libsqlite3-dev'
and check your shared library search path (the
location where your sqlite3 shared library is located).
*** extconf.rb failed ***
Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of necessary
libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more details. You may
need configuration options.

Updating web-console
ERROR: Error installing web-console:
Unresolved dependency found during sorting - activesupport (>= 4.2.0) (requested by rails-dom-testing-2.0.3)
Gems updated: sqlite3

SOLUTION: as suggested in the error message, just install libsqlite3-dev:

apt-get install libsqlite3-dev

PROBLEM #2: cannot update webconsole

# gem update
Updating installed gems
Updating web-console
ERROR: Error installing web-console:
Unresolved dependency found during sorting - activesupport (>= 4.2.0) (requested by rails-dom-testing-2.0.3)
Nothing to update

SOLUTION:
as in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56084457/getting-error-when-installing-web-console

‘gem install -f web-console’

PROBLEM #3: Cannot bundle install

bundle install is needed to upgrade all gems to latest versions.

Problem:
> bundle install --without development test
Traceback (most recent call last):
1: from /usr/local/bin/bundle:23:in `<main>'
/usr/local/bin/bundle:23:in `load': cannot load such file -- /usr/share/rubygems-integration/all/gems/bundler-1.16.1/exe/bundle (LoadError)

Solution:

SOLUTION #1:

Ref: https://github.com/bundler/bundler/issues/6227
Just run:

gem update --system
gem uninstall bundler
gem install bundler
bundle install

this solution doesn’t not always work

SOLUTION #2: Use old bundler

https://www.redmine.org/issues/30353

gem install bundler -v 1.17.3 # Currently the latest bundler version < 2.0
bundle _1.17.3_ install
