I've trained the GoogleNet model on custom datasets and trying to deploy in raspberry pi for image classification. Following code for image predictions:

import cv2
net = cv2.dnn.readNetFromCaffe(
'deploy.prototxt',
'cyrrup_googlenet_iter_1110.caffemodel')
frame = cv2.imread('frame.jpg', cv2.IMREAD_GRAYSCALE)
image=cv2.resize(frame, (224, 224))
blob = cv2.dnn.blobFromImage(image,1, (224, 224), (104, 117, 123))
net.setInput(blob)
detections = net.forward()
print(detections)

The following error I'm getting.

OpenCV Error: Unspecified error (Can't create layer "data" of type "Input") in getLayerInstance, file /home/pi/opencv-3.3.0/modules/dnn/src/dnn.cpp, line 365
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "image_detection.py", line 9, in
detections = net.forward()
cv2.error: /home/pi/opencv-3.3.0/modules/dnn/src/dnn.cpp:365: error: (-2) Can't create layer "data" of type "Input" in function getLayerInstance

Will anyone please help me to debug? If required more information I would like to discuss.

Thanks.

  • please show the 1st lines of the prototxt (the input layer)
  • opencv-3.3.0 -- nooo, please use latest 3.4 (even if that means a tiresome rebuild)

Deploy.prototxt

name: "GoogleNet"
layer {
  name: "data"
  type: "Input"
  top: "data"
  input_param { shape: { dim: 10 dim: 3 dim: 224 dim: 224 } }
}
.....
layer {
  name: "prob"
  type: "Softmax"
  bottom: "loss3/classifier"
  top: "prob"
}

replace your input layer with the following lines:

input: "data"
input_dim: 1
input_dim: 3
input_dim: 224
input_dim: 224

(note, that the actual numbers are taken from blobFromImage() later)

then, in you code, call:

frame = cv2.imread('frame.jpg') ## color, NOT grayscale !
blob = cv2.dnn.blobFromImage(frame, 1, (224, 224), (104, 117, 123), True, False)

(no need to resize the image before !)

and again, you need the latest version for this, not 3.3.0

@berak Is there no way to use a grayscale image? You suggest to use color images just for dim=3 channels in prototxt? Switching dim=3 to dim=1 could be a solution to make it working on grayscale images?

lezan, if your network was trained with color images, it does not make much sense, to use grayscale ones for testing

It does not make much sense to be wrong?

@lezan, by definition, grayscale images are images with red=green=blue. So you can copy luminance in each channel instead.

@dkurt that's a good point. I will try it.
