Transform data in MemoryDataLayer (branch dev/next)

[hleb...@gmail.com]

Hello,

In the file src/caffe/layers/memory_data_layer.cpp  (in the dev/next branches, not master) the methods MemoryDataLayer<Dtype>::AddMatVector and MemoryDataLayer<Dtype>::AddDatumVector use the data_transformer (that is exactly what I want). However, the method void MemoryDataLayer<Dtype>::Reset has the following line that forbids the definition of tranform parameters:

  // Refuse transformation parameters since a memory array is totally generic.
  CHECK(!this->layer_param_.has_transform_param()) <<
      this->type() << " does not transform data.";


I do not understand how these could be compatible ??? In practice, I must comment the lines in the method Reset() to be able to use the transform parmeters in AddMatVector() or AddDatumVector(). For information, my prototype is:

layers {
  name: "data"
  type: MEMORY_DATA
  top: "data"
  top: "label"
  memory_data_param {
    batch_size: 50
    channels: 3
    height: 227
    width: 227
  }
  transform_param {
    crop_size: 227
    mirror: false
    mean_file: "imagenet_mean.binaryproto"
  }


Best regards

H.

just comment this check out and it will work fine :)

Yeah, this check should have instead been a warning -- so I have relaxed it in https://github.com/BVLC/caffe/pull/1907.

Thanks for the report and happy brewing.
