Error in illumination correction example pipeline

[lakshmibalasubramanian]

There are 4 piplines in the example. In “ExampleIlluminationCorrection_Example1_AllMethod” pipeline it shows following error,
For reference CP version 3.1.8 & OS is ubuntu,

I request the concerned team to update the example pipeline in the webpage.
This issue is also with reference to a forum question,

Thanks! Do you mind also pasting the full text of the forum post here in Github? That prevents the problem of the info later becoming unavailable or broken-linked.

Yes. Here it is,

Hi,
I am using the CellProfiler tutorial images and workflow to explore the illumination correction approach, but I am unable to run it because of the following error message:
Error while processing CorrectIlluminationCalculate:
‘ascii’ codec can’t decode byte 0xff in position 37: ordinal not in range(128)
Does anyone have any idea how this can be fixed? I am new to CellProfiler myself. It is run on the following system: macOS 10.14.6 (18G95)
Many thanks in advance,
Ralitsa
Hi RalitsaMadsen,
@bcimini
Which CellProfiler version are you using??
There are 4 piplines in the examples, which one are you trying?? Because I tried all the 4.
Expect “ExampleIlluminationCorrection_Example1_AllMethod” pipeline rest all seems to work fine. In this case I also encouter the similar error.
Regards,
Lakshmi

If you guys let me know what pipeline(s) fail for which version(s) of CellProfiler, we can figure if it is a bug, or just that the example pipelines need to be updated, in which case you can file an issue 1 letting us know CellProfiler version, OS, which pipeline(s) are having problems, etc.
