Openpose: File not found: models/pose/coco/pose_deploy_linevec.prototxt - Ubuntu

Created on 22 Jul 2017 · 5Comments · Source: CMU-Perceptual-Computing-Lab/openpose

I'm using a local caffe installation and I'm getting this error when I'm running the openpose command from outside of the openpose directory.

This works:
./build/examples/openpose/openpose.bin --video video.mp4 --write_keypoint_json output/

This doesn't work (outside of the openpose directory):
/home/ubuntu/projects/openpose/build/examples/openpose/openpose.bin --video /home/ubuntu/projects/openpose/video.mp4 --write_keypoint_json /home/ubuntu/projects/openpose/output/

Any idea why?

The models folder must be in the directory where OpenPose is called.

But you can alternatively run OpenPose and tell it where the models folder is with '--model_folder' (https://github.com/CMU-Perceptual-Computing-Lab/openpose/blob/master/doc/demo_overview.md)

i have same issue in window 10. Please tell me any one
C:\openpose\build\x64\Release>openposedemo.exe --video C:/openpose/examples/media/video.avi --hand --hand_tracking
Starting OpenPose demo...
Auto-detecting all available GPUs... Detected 1 GPU(s), using 1 of them starting at GPU 0.

Error:
Prototxt file not found: models\hand/pose_deploy.prototxt.
Possible causes:
1. Not downloading the OpenPose trained models.
2. Not running OpenPose from the same directory where the model folder is located.
3. Using paths with spaces.

Hi, nanthakumar94! I was facing the same issue, and as suggested by gineshidalgo99, I placed my build folder in the same directory as model directory and my problem was solved. Now my folder structure looks like this:

Path to my openpose directory
...\OpenPose\openpose

Path to my build directory
...\OpenPose\openpose\build_windows

I hope it helps.
