Darknet: Can't open label file. (This can be normal only if you use MSCOCO)

[adilraja]

Hi folks,
I am trying to run darknet on a linux based super computer. The system has a large number of Nvidia GPUs and I wanted to leverage that. Since I have limited access to the system as one of the many users, I have to submit jobs to its GpuQ (GPU queue) through a slurm script. And when I run darknet, it works well at times. But at times it gives the following error:

Can't open label file. (This can be normal only if you use MSCOCO)

On the same system, I ran darknet as a batch job (i.e. without using GPU queue through slurm) and darknet worked fine. I wonder if someone will like to offer any help on this issue please!

AlexAB fork (https://github.com/AlexeyAB/darknet) probably expect annotations (labels) in the tame directory where images are.

Hi adilraja

I encountered the same question as you, I wonder wether you have solve this problem?

The problem can usually be solved with checking your train.txt and test.txt or directories for incorrect or misspelled endings. In my case it was "../data/obj/Download.xml.txt" instead of the usual "../data/obj/Download.txt".

I'm having the same issue while training. Please note that I'm using the chest x-ray images as my data set. All the images and labels are stored in the same directory: /darknet/data/obj
