Selective Search Error

[Michael Xin]

I download the selective_search_ijcv_with_python patch from https://github.com/sergeyk/selective_search_ijcv_with_python

and copy it to /$CAFFE_ROOT/python/caffe

then I start MATLAB and run demo.m, but it seems that something wrong.., as is shown below:

>> demo

Demo of how to run the code for:

   J. Uijlings, K. van de Sande, T. Gevers, A. Smeulders

   Segmentation as Selective Search for Object Recognition

   IJCV 2013

Compiling the segmentation algorithm of:

   P. Felzenszwalb and D. Huttenlocher

   Efficient Graph-Based Image Segmentation

   International Journal of Computer Vision, 2004

Source code/Project page:

   http://www.cs.brown.edu/~pff/segment/

Note: A small Matlab wrapper was made.

Attempt to execute SCRIPT anigauss as a function:

/home/michael/caffe-master/python/selective_search_ijcv_with_python-master/Dependencies/anigaussm/anigauss.m

Error in Image2OrientedGradients (line 21)

Error in BlobStructTextureHist (line 12)

Error in Image2HierarchicalGrouping (line 45)

textureHist = BlobStructTextureHist(blobIndIm, colourIm);

Error in demo (line 61)

[boxes blobIndIm blobBoxes hierarchy] = Image2HierarchicalGrouping(im, sigma, k, minSize, colorType, simFunctionHandles);

It`s weird... because I download the original code from http://koen.me/research/selectivesearch/, and run demo.m. It`s all OK.

So, could you tell me where is my mistake?

Thanks a lot!

Hey,

I have the same issue. Did you fix it yet?

Best regards, Joshua

[Joshua Holly]

If I use the original repository, the same error occurs.

[Adam]

I have exactly the same problem. Have you solved yet?

[Adam]

I think, maybe I solved this problem. Just download "anigauss.dll" from https://code.google.com/p/neurons/source/browse/trunk/matlab/iccv2011/anigaussm/anigauss.dll?r=963

and put it in the directory of *\anigaussm. Then, it should be work.

Hi guys maybe this help you:

http://koen.me/research/selectivesearch/

the original implementation in matlab.

Hi all,

I had the same issue (identical error message as Michael's). I downloaded both selective search versions from http://koen.me/research/selectivesearch/  (IJCV Journal and ICCV conference version) and neither of them worked when i called 'run demo.m'. 

Opened up the demo.m file and noticed that on lines 12 and 24 the '~exist' functions were underlined in yellow. 

The warning message that appears when you hover over it suggests that the exist function prefers two arguments. Found this webpage that was also useful http://uk.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/37722-check-for-existence-of-mat-file-in-search-path

Therefore i tried out a second argument. As seen below:

Saved the changes and then ran 'run demo.m' and it worked. 

I tried this out on Matlab R2013b and also added the select search folder to matlab's paths.

Hope this helps someone in future...

Mark
