Where to place the pretrained data for GOTURN tracker

Hi,
following the documentation

//In order to use GOTURN tracker, GOTURN architecture goturn.prototxt and goturn.caffemodel are required to exist in root folder.

I have to put the pre trained caffemodel and the goturn.prototxt into the root folder, but which root? I've tried so far:

openCV src dir (github contrib repo/ + contrib/modules/tracking/+subfolders
opencv build dir(similar directories here)
opencv dirs in /usr/local/lib+include+bin
project src and project build

I am sure there is someone who successfully used it and can help me with this easy question :)

You can see here the code to load the Caffe models. Have you tried to put the files in the same directory than the executable?

Yep, that's exactly what I tried :D Maybe there is more to do than just drop these two files? Or do I need to rebuild openCV with the fhe files instead of just placing them afterwards?

@berak OK, Do you know this question?

rainY ( 2018-07-27 04:14:24 -0600 )edit

it has to be in the same folder, where your program runs. where that is on android -- no idea.

Ok problem solved :D
I could fix it by myself. Like suggested in the comment and what I've already tried - it was the right path. The problem was, that I didn't have the access rights for this folder, now it works fine.

So for others a simple tutorial how to get the files and where to place.

download and extract pre-trained data
copy them to /.../opencv_contrib-master/modules/tracking/src/
make sure you have access rights to this folder (e.g. sudo chmod -R on your opencv Folder)

It's still not clear to me which in what directory should the caffemodel and the goturn.prototxt be placed? Should be the same directory as the generated executable or should be the source directory of opencv_contrib and then rebuild the opencv library?

The method suggested by 00zetti is correct. If still facing issues, please ensure following points:

You have concatenated the zip files into single file named "goturn.caffemodel"
You need to paste both files i.e. "goturn.protoxt" and "goturn.caffemodel" in your working directory. You can check your working directory using getcwd() command.
