aliceVision_cameraInit: At least one image should have an initialized intrinsic.

[Poly2it]

I forced AliceVision to not throw an error, and return EINTRINSIC::PINHOLE_CAMERA for non-matches:

I would not expect this to resolve the issue.

This yields a new error, which to my knowledge should not be able to occur with the Monstree dataset I am testing with:

[16:28:45.825439][warning] Some image(s) have no serial number to identify the camera/lens device.
This makes it impossible to correctly group the images by device if you have used multiple identical (same model) camera devices.
The reconstruction will assume that only one device has been used, so if 2 images share the same focal length approximation they will share the same internal camera parameters.
3 image(s) are concerned.
[16:28:45.825463][error] At least one image should have an initialized intrinsic.
Check your input images metadata (brand, model, focal length, ...), more should be set and correct.

It would be helpful to see the exact build instructions, revision and potential patches used for the binary distribution.

I have reproduced this issue with the latest development versions of AliceVision, QtAliceVision and Meshroom. The images I am testing with come from the Monstree dataset. I am unable to successfully create a working copy of AliceVision from source due to this issue, as are other users in alicevision/Meshroom#2260.
