Can't create layer "DummyData1" of type "DummyData" in function 'getLayerInstance'

I converted a tensorflow model to a caffe model (tf_resnet.prototxt), and I'm now trying to run an object detection counting algorithm (code). However, i get the following error:

[INFO] loading model...
[INFO] opening video file...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "people_counter.py", line 132, in <module>
    detections = net.forward()
cv2.error: OpenCV(4.2.0) /io/opencv/modules/dnn/src/dnn.cpp:562: error: (-2:Unspecified error) Can't create layer "DummyData1" of type "DummyData" in function 'getLayerInstance'

This similar issue on Stackoverflow suggested to change the type: "DummyData1" to type: "Input" in the following code:

layer {
  name: "DummyData1"
  type: "DummyData1"
  top: "DummyData1"
  dummy_data_param {
    shape {
      dim: 1
      dim: 64
      dim: 150
      dim: 150
    }
  }
}

However, when doing this, i get another error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "people_counter.py", line 132, in <module>
    detections = net.forward()
cv2.error: OpenCV(4.2.0) /io/opencv/modules/dnn/src/dnn.cpp:2709: error: (-215:Assertion failed) inp.total() in function 'allocateLayers'

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

if this is the 1st layer, you could try to replace it with:

input: "data"
input_dim: 1
input_dim: 64
input_dim: 150
input_dim: 150

does it really have 64 "channels" there ?

As you can see in the prototxt file, it's not the first layer (however it is the first dummylayer). You mean to replace it like this?

layer {
  input: "data"
  input_dim: 1
  input_dim: 64
  input_dim: 150
  input_dim: 150
}

no, it was meant literally, and since it's NOT the 1st data layer, it probably can't apply

(yea, sorry did not see your prototxt)

btw, why did you convert it to caffe ? (did you retrain it ?) does the original tf model work with opencv ?

I'm trying to develop an object detection counting algorithm, specifically this implementation by Adrian Rosebrock. This implementation requires a caffe model instead of a TF model.

well adrian's tutorial seems to mainly highlight his "centroid tracker"

The bounding boxes themselves can be provided by either:

    An object detector (such as HOG + Linear SVM, Faster R- CNN, SSDs, etc.)
    Or an object tracker (such as correlation filters)

This implementation requires a caffe model instead of a TF model.

we do have ready-made SSD detection caffe models in the zoo. i'm also quite sure, that you can use others like yolo or squeezedet, with a bit of hacking...

That's true, but I'm trying to implement my own model which is trained in Tensorflow. It's a faster RCNN inception resnet v2 model.

ok,ok, and nice, that you trained your own !

It's a faster RCNN inception resnet v2 model.

good to know, maybe we can find out, what the DummyLayer is about now

I'll make sure to get back to you if I find a solution. Hopefully someone here knows something ;)
