RuntimeError while opening deploy.prototxt

[Ehab Albadawy]

Question on stackoverflow

I'm trying run a simple code with caffe that should open deploy.prototxt but it couldn't open the file and throws this error

RuntimeError: Could not open file /home/ebadawy/git/caffemodels/bvlc_reference_caffenet/deploy.prototxt

this is my code

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

plt.rcParams['figure.figsize'] = (10, 10)        # large images
plt.rcParams['image.interpolation'] = 'nearest'  # don't interpolate:     show square pixels
plt.rcParams['image.cmap'] = 'gray'  # use grayscale output rather than a (potentially misleading)
                                     # color heatmap
caffe_root = '/home/ebadawy/git/caffe'

import os
if os.path.isfile(caffe_root + 'models/bvlc_reference_caffenet/bvlc_reference_caffenet.caffemodel'):
    print('CaffeNet found.')
else:
    print('Downloading pre-trained CaffeNet model...')
    os.system('../scripts/download_model_binary.py ../models/bvlc_reference_caffenet')

import caffe

caffe.set_mode_cpu()
model_def = caffe_root + 'models/bvlc_reference_caffenet/deploy.prototxt'
model_weights = caffe_root + 'models/bvlc_reference_caffenet/bvlc_reference_caffenet.caffemodel'

net = caffe.Net(model_def,      # defines the structure of the model
            model_weights,  # contains the trained weights
            caffe.TEST)     # use test mode (e.g., don't perform dropout)

I'm using archlinux+python3.5

Hi Ehab,

please change the caffe_root to be

caffe_root = '/home/ebadawy/git/caffe/'
adding the backslash at the end will make the path refer to caffe/models instead of caffemodels

  please review your code very well before running it , you are lucky you got an error.

sometimes you do not get any errors but also you do not get any good results because something wrong in your code.

Good luck .
