Google DeepDream: Message type “caffe.NetParameter” has no field named “input_shape”

[Dennis Thieme]

I want to start the Google DeepDream IPython Notebook fromhttps://github.com/google/deepdream.

I installed the Dependencies listed in the notebook (caffe and protobuf) and started the notebook with the anaconda distribution of python.

model_path = '/home/dennis/caffe/models/bvlc_googlenet/' # substitute your path here
net_fn   = model_path + 'deploy.prototxt'
param_fn = model_path + 'bvlc_googlenet.caffemodel'

# Patching model to be able to compute gradients.
# Note that you can also manually add "force_backward: true" line to "deploy.prototxt".
model = caffe.io.caffe_pb2.NetParameter()
text_format.Merge(open(net_fn).read(), model)
model.force_backward = True
open('tmp.prototxt', 'w').write(str(model))

net = caffe.Classifier('tmp.prototxt', param_fn,
                       mean = np.float32([104.0, 116.0, 122.0]), # ImageNet mean, training set dependent
                       channel_swap = (2,1,0)) # the reference model has channels in BGR order instead of RGB

# a couple of utility functions for converting to and from Caffe's input image layout
def preprocess(net, img):
    return np.float32(np.rollaxis(img, 2)[::-1]) - net.transformer.mean['data']
def deprocess(net, img):
    return np.dstack((img + net.transformer.mean['data'])[::-1])

When running this code cell an error is thrown:

ParseError: 3:1 : Message type "caffe.NetParameter" has no field named "input_shape".

Here is the complete Stack Trace:

Don't really know how to fix this error. I Hope you guys can help me.

Can you try by changing this line ( model = caffe.io.caffe_pb2.NetParameter()) to model = caffe_pb2.NetParameter().
