I tried to use ImageDataGenerator to build generator images to train my model, But I am unable to do so because of the PIL.UnidentifiedImageError error. I tried different datasets and the problem pertains only to my dataset.
Now I can't unfortunately delete all the training/testing images as an answer suggested but I can remove the files causing this problem. How can I detect the error causing files?
This is a common problem particularly if you download images from say google. I developed a function that given a directory, it will go through all sub directories and check the files in each sub directory to ensure the have proper extensions and are valid image files. Code is provided below. It returns two lists. good_list is a list of valid image files and bad_list is a list of invalid image files. You will need to have Opencv installed.If you do not have it installed use pip install opencv-contrib-python.
def test_images(dir):
import os
import cv2
bad_list=[]
good_list=[]
good_exts=['jpg', 'png', 'bmp','tiff','jpeg', 'gif'] # make a list of acceptable image file types
for klass in os.listdir(dir) : # iterate through the sub directories
class_path=os.path.join (dir, klass) # create path to sub directory
if os.path.isdir(class_path):
for f in os.listdir(class_path): # iterate through image files
f_path=os.path.join(class_path, f) # path to image files
ext=f[f.rfind('.')+1:] # get the files extension
if ext not in good_exts:
print(f'file {f_path} has an invalid extension {ext}')
bad_list.append(f_path)
else:
try:
img=cv2.imread(f_path)
size=img.shape
good_list.append(f_path)
except:
print(f'file {f_path} is not a valid image file ')
bad_list.append(f_path)
else:
print(f'** WARNING ** directory {dir} has files in it, it should only contain sub directories')
return good_list, bad_list
I am trying to do a basic colour conversion in python however I can't seem to get past the below error. I have re-installed python, opencv and tried on both python 3.4.3 (latest) and python 2.7 (which is on my Mac).
I installed opencv using python's package manager opencv-python.
Here is the code that fails:
frame = cv2.imread('frames/frame%d.tiff' % count)
frame_HSV= cv2.cvtColor(frame,cv2.COLOR_RGB2HSV)
This is the error message:
cv2.error: OpenCV(3.4.3) /Users/travis/build/skvark/opencv-python/opencv/modules/imgproc/src/color.cpp:181: error: (-215:Assertion failed) !_src.empty() in function 'cvtColor'
This error happened because the image didn't load properly. So you have a problem with the previous line cv2.imread. My suggestion is :
check if the image exists in the path you give
check if the count variable has a valid number
If anyone is experiencing this same problem when reading a frame from a webcam:
Verify if your webcam is being used on another task and close it. This wil solve the problem.
I spent some time with this error when I realized my camera was online in a google hangouts group. Also, Make sure your webcam drivers are up to date
I kept getting this error too:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "face_detector.py", line 6, in <module>
gray_img=cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
cv2.error: OpenCV(4.1.0) C:\projects\opencv-python\opencv\modules\imgproc\src\color.cpp:182: error: (-215:Assertion failed) !_src.empty() in function 'cv::cvtColor
My cv2.cvtColor(...) was working fine with \photo.jpg but not with \news.jpg. For me, I finally realized that when working on Windows with python, those escape characters will get you every time!! So my "bad" photo was being escaped because of the file name beginning with "n". Python took the \n as an escape character and OpenCV couldn't find the file!
Solution:
Preface file names in Windows python with r"...\...\" as in
cv2.imread(r".\images\news.jpg")
If the path is correct and the name of the image is OK, but you are still getting the error
use:
from skimage import io
img = io.imread(file_path)
instead of:
cv2.imread(file_path)
The function imread loads an image from the specified file and returns
it. If the image cannot be read (because of missing file, improper permissions, unsupported or invalid format), the function returns an empty matrix ( Mat::data==NULL ).
check if the image exists in the path and verify the image extension (.jpg or .png)
Check whether its the jpg, png, bmp file that you are providing and write the extension accordingly.
Another thing which might be causing this is a 'weird' symbol in your file and directory names. All umlaut (äöå) and other (éóâ etc) characters should be removed from the file and folder names. I've had this same issue sometimes because of these characters.
Most probably there is an error in loading the image, try checking directory again.
Print the image to confirm if it actually loaded or not
In my case, the image was incorrectly named. Check if the image exists and try
import numpy as np
import cv2
img = cv2.imread('image.png', 0)
cv2.imshow('image', img)
I've been in same situation as well, and My case was because of the Korean letter in the path...
After I remove Korean letters from the folder name, it works.
OR put
[#-*- coding:utf-8 -*-]
(except [ ] at the edge)
or something like that in the first line to make python understand Korean or your language or etc.
then it will work even if there is some Koreans in the path in my case.
So the things is, it seems like there is something about path or the letter.
People who answered are saying similar things. Hope you guys solve it!
I had the same problem and it turned out that my image names included special characters (e.g. château.jpg), which could not bet handled by cv2.imread. My solution was to make a temporary copy of the file, renaming it e.g. temp.jpg, which could be loaded by cv2.imread without any problems.
Note: I did not check the performance of shutil.copy2 vice versa other options. So probably there is a better/faster solution to make a temporary copy.
import shutil, sys, os, dlib, glob, cv2
for f in glob.glob(os.path.join(myfolder_path, "*.jpg")):
shutil.copy2(f, myfolder_path + 'temp.jpg')
img = cv2.imread(myfolder_path + 'temp.jpg')
img = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)
os.remove(myfolder_path + 'temp.jpg')
If there are only few files with special characters, renaming can also be done as an exeption, e.g.
for f in glob.glob(os.path.join(myfolder_path, "*.jpg")):
try:
img = cv2.imread(f)
img = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)
except:
shutil.copy2(f, myfolder_path + 'temp.jpg')
img = cv2.imread(myfolder_path + 'temp.jpg')
img = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)
os.remove(myfolder_path + 'temp.jpg')
In my case it was a permission issue. I had to:
chmod a+wrx the image,
then it worked.
must please see guys that the error is in the cv2.imread() .Give the right path of the image. and firstly, see if your system loads the image or not. this can be checked first by simple load of image using cv2.imread().
after that ,see this code for the face detection
import numpy as np
import cv2
cascPath = "/Users/mayurgupta/opt/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site- packages/cv2/data/haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml"
eyePath = "/Users/mayurgupta/opt/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/cv2/data/haarcascade_eye.xml"
smilePath = "/Users/mayurgupta/opt/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/cv2/data/haarcascade_smile.xml"
face_cascade = cv2.CascadeClassifier(cascPath)
eye_cascade = cv2.CascadeClassifier(eyePath)
smile_cascade = cv2.CascadeClassifier(smilePath)
img = cv2.imread('WhatsApp Image 2020-04-04 at 8.43.18 PM.jpeg')
gray = cv2.cvtColor(img, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
faces = face_cascade.detectMultiScale(gray, 1.3, 5)
for (x,y,w,h) in faces:
img = cv2.rectangle(img,(x,y),(x+w,y+h),(255,0,0),2)
roi_gray = gray[y:y+h, x:x+w]
roi_color = img[y:y+h, x:x+w]
eyes = eye_cascade.detectMultiScale(roi_gray)
for (ex,ey,ew,eh) in eyes:
cv2.rectangle(roi_color,(ex,ey),(ex+ew,ey+eh),(0,255,0),2)
cv2.imshow('img',img)
cv2.waitKey(0)
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
Here, cascPath ,eyePath ,smilePath should have the right actual path that's picked up from lib/python3.7/site-packages/cv2/data here this path should be to picked up the haarcascade files
Your code can't find the figure or the name of your figure named the by error message.
Solution:
import cv2
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
img=cv2.imread('哈哈.jpg')#solution:img=cv2.imread('haha.jpg')
print(img)
If anyone is experiencing this same problem when reading a frame from a webcam [with code similar to "frame = cv2.VideoCapture(0)"] and work in Jupyter Notebook, you may try:
ensure previously tried code is not running already and restart Jupyter Notebook kernel
SEPARATE code "frame = cv2.VideoCapture(0)" in separate cell on place where it is [previous code put in cell above, code under put to cell down]
then run all the code above cell where is "frame = cv2.VideoCapture(0)"
then try run next cell with its only code "frame = cv2.VideoCapture(0)" - AND - till you will continue in executing other cells - ENSURE - that ASTERIX on the left side of this particular cell DISAPEAR and command order number appear instead - only then continue
now you can try execute the rest of your code as your camera input should not be empty anymore :-)
After end, ensure you close all your program and restart kernel to prepare it for another run
As #shaked litbak , this error arised with my initial use with the ASCII-generator , as i naively thought i just had to add to the ./data directory , with its load automatically .
I had to append the --input option with the desired file path .
I checked my image file path and it was correct. I made sure there was no corrupt images.The problem was with my mac. It sometimes have a hidden file called .DS_Store which was saved together with the image file path. Therefore cv2 was having a problem with that file.So I solved the problem by deleting .DS_Store
I also encountered this type of error:
error: OpenCV(4.1.2) /io/opencv/modules/imgproc/src/color.cpp:182: error: (-215:Assertion failed) !_src.empty() in function 'cvtColor'
The solution was to load the image properly. Since the file mentioned was wrong, images were not loaded and hence it threw this error. You can check the path of the image or if uploading an image through colab or drive, make sure that the image is present in the drive.
I encounter the problem when I try to load the image from non-ASCII path.
If I simply use imread to load the image, I am only able to get None.
Here is my solution:
import cv2
import numpy as np
path = r'D:\map\上海地图\abc.png'
image = cv2.imdecode(np.fromfile(path, dtype=np.uint8), cv2.IMREAD_UNCHANGED)
Similar thing will happen when I save the image in a non-ASCII path. It will not be successfully saved without any warnings. And here is what I did.
import cv2
import numpy as np
path = r'D:\map\上海地图\abc.png'
cv2.imencode('.png', image)[1].tofile(path)
path = os.path.join(raw_folder, folder, file)
print('[DEBUG] path:', path)
img = cv2.imread(path) #read path Image
if img is None: # check if the image exists in the path you give
print('Wrong path:', path)
else: # It completes the steps
img = cv2.resize(img, dsize=(128,128))
pixels.append(img)
The solution os to ad './' before the name of image before reading it...
Just Try Degrading the OpenCV
in python Shell (in cmd)
>>> import cv2
>>> cv2.__version__
after Checking in cmd
pip uninstall opencv-python
after uninstalling the version of opencv install
pip install opencv-python==3.4.8.29
I used the following code in Pycharm:
import tensorflow as tf
sess = tf.Session()
a = tf.constant(value=5, name='input_a')
b = tf.constant(value=3, name='input_b')
c = tf.multiply(a,b, name='mult_c')
d = tf.add(a,b, name='add_d')
e = tf.add(c,d, name='add_e')
print(sess.run(e))
writer = tf.summary.FileWriter("./tb_graph", sess.graph)
Then, I pasted following line to the Anaconda Prompt:
tensorboard --logdir=="tb_graph"
I tried both with "" and '' as there were proposed: Tensorboard: No graph definition files were found. and it does nothing for me.
I had similar issue. The issue occurred when I specified 'logdir' folder inside single quotes instead of double quotes. Hope this may be helpful to you.
egs: tensorboard --logdir='my_graph' -> Tensorboard didn't detect the graph
tensorboard --logdir="my_graph" -> Tensorboard detected the graph
I checked the code on laptop with Ubuntu 16.04 and another one with Win10, so it probably isn't system-based error.
I also tried adding and removing --host=127.0.0.1 in An Prompt and checking several times both http://localhost:6006/ and http://desktop-.......:6006/.
Still same error:
No graph definition files were found.
To store a graph, create a tf.summary.FileWriter and pass the graph either via the constructor, or by calling its add_graph() method. You may want to check out the graph visualizer tutorial.
....
Please tell me what is wrong in the code/propmp command?
EDIT: On Ubuntu I used the normal terminal, of course.
EDIT2: I used both = and == in command prompt
The answer to my question is:
1) change "./new1_dir" into ".\\new1_dir"
and
2)put full track to file to anaconda propmpt: --logdir="C:\Users\Admin\Documents\PycharmProjects\try_tb\new1_dir"
Thanks #BugKiller for your help!
EDIT: Working only on Windows for me, but still better than nothing
EDIT2: Works on Ubuntu 16.04 too
I hope everyone is having a great day.
I'm attempting to train a convnet for fun, but the TensorFlow Inception v3 model doesn't find any files within my folders even though they are there.
I get this error when trying to train it:
Looking for images in 'evening_star'
No files found
Looking for images in 'morning_star'
No files found
No valid folders of images found at /tf_files/image_recognition
Does anyone have any ideas as to why this could be occurring?
check out your files extension. I had the same problem because all my images were "png". If you have a look into the script "retrain.py", you'll see:
extensions = ['jpg', 'jpeg', 'JPG', 'JPEG']
just modify it to allow "png" as well and problem solved:
extensions = ['jpg', 'jpeg', 'JPG', 'JPEG', 'png', 'PNG']
hope this help you!
I am using Ipython Notebook to generate some bar plots.
The code cell is this:
kcount =0;for k, v in pledge.groupby(['Date','Break']).sum().Amount.iteritems():
if k[0] <> kcount:
kcount=k[0]
pledge[pledge.Date==k[0]].groupby(['Break','Progcode'])['Amount'].sum().plot(kind='bar')
plt.title(k[0])
plt.figure()
This gives me a bar plot for every day of our pledge drive, showing how each show within that day did. 24 charts in all. They display great as output on the screen, but when I use the Print button in Ipython Notebook, it only prints enough graphs to fill the last page, which can vary from 3 to 6 graphs depending on the printer used. One printer used reported that it required 11x17 paper for the print job (not something I set anywhere) and when I manually set it for 8 1/2 x 11, it again only printed out the first 3 pages. I am at a loss as to what to do at this point.
As a workaround, can you can use plt.savefig('filename.png') (or .jpg, or .whatever) to save an image file and then print the files out manually?
I ended up saving these pages to a multipage PDF file and then printing them from there.
Consult the docs http://matplotlib.org/api/backend_pdf_api.html
To see how to save several figures to a multipage PDF file.
This also looks like a good resource. http://blog.marmakoide.org/?p=94
