pytest Error: tests/test_lkm.py:81: AssertionError about pymatting

Not on a nvidia gpu; is this the issue?

[99991]

The warning is because no NVIDIA GPU is available, but that is only required for GPU-accelerated foreground estimation with CUDA. You can still use the CPU-implementation. And if you are lucky and can install pyopencl, you can also use the GPU-accelerated OpenCL implementation.

EDIT: The command pip3 install -r requirements_gpu.txt will install the GPU-requirements.

However, the assertion is unrelated to that.

We found a system to reproduce the issue. Which hardware are you using? Maybe there is a common denominator here.

The good news is that the error is only 5.6e-4 when it should be less than 1e-5, so it is still very small and nothing to be concerned about. We have ruled out the matrix inversion and the box filter so far as sources of numerical precision issues.

We have recently increased the threshold by a small amount. Do the tests pass now?

[99991]

Since there have not been any comments, I'll assume that this issue has been solved.
