Caffe: Check failed: cv_img.data Could not load examples/images/cat.jpg

[basuam]

While running make runtest apparently it is not possible to load the images.

I'm running "make runtest" from the main folder "caffe-master" and the error is as follows...

I have installed CUDA 7.0, cuDNN-v3.0, the latest version of Caffe-master (downloaded two days ago) and the OS is RedHat 6.

Hope you can confirm that this is a BUG

I have met the same problem,,could you tell me how to solve it?Thank you!

[ylqfp]

I've met with this problem too, don't know how to handle

[syedumaramin]

did any one find solution to the above issue

[jpsquare]

Is there a solution for this issue?

[ylqfp]

Hi all,
It's because there is non-compatible version of libjpeg in the system. I reinstalled libjpeg module, and finally solved this problem.
Just remind, try to test your libjpeg module first and make sure your libjpeg is OK.

[jpsquare]

@ylqfp, which operating system are you using? and how did u install this module? . Thanks for the help

[ylqfp]

Hi @jpsquare RHEL 6.5 santigo. Just download source from http://libjpeg.sourceforge.net/ and reinstall following its instructions.

[jpsquare]

Thanks @ylqfp, I resolved this issue by prepending the absolute path to the images in the file holding the image names. Thus the image urls could now be resolved by the opencv methods

[seanbell]

Closing, since this seems to be resolved, and related to installation/library problems and not caffe.

I tried hardcoding the abolute path in include/caffe/test/test_caffe_main.hpp based on the suggestion from @jpsquare above, but I still got the could not load error message, even though the error message now included the full path to the file.

I got around this error by rebuilding OpenCV with the following cmake flags:

-DBUILD_JPEG=ON -DBUILD_PNG=ON -DBUILD_TIFF=ON -DBUILD_ZLIB=ON

so that it could build its own media i/o libraries and not depend on the one found in Anaconda's library path. I probably only needed the JPEG option to get around this error, but I just went ahead and did the others to be consistent.

Hope that helps someone.

how to hardcode the absolute path in include/caffe/test/test_caffe_main.hpp. Can you specify clearly. I did rebuild opencv with the above cmake.

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Thanks!!! I have solved that follow your solutions.
