I'm experiencing the same issue with master branch of Caffe. I think this was introduced by BVLC/caffe@dc6d3303a45e8c5a0fe7249881ca6bd8387c9203 - it added a clip layer which seems to cause problems.

[jpapon]

There appear to be other commits before that one that also mention a clip layer.
I reverted to BVLC/caffe@f019d0dfe86f49d1140961f8c7dec22130c83154 and things work fine.

I just changed from master to f019d0dfe86f49d1140961f8c7dec22130c83154 in the two relevant places:
https://github.com/CMU-Perceptual-Computing-Lab/openpose/blob/f49e18421da832ae441f75477035786126357401/CMakeLists.txt#L616
and
https://github.com/CMU-Perceptual-Computing-Lab/openpose/blob/f49e18421da832ae441f75477035786126357401/CMakeLists.txt#L651

It probably makes sense to switch to a specific tag or commit rather than master to avoid this type of issue in the future. Especially since from the look of it, the only way to be compatible with master now is to update the weights file.

@jpapon you are right,thanks,by the way,I can't checkout:f019d0dfe86f49d1140961f8c7dec22130c83154,so checkout another commit:864520713a4c5ffae7382ced5d34e4cadc608473,rebuild caffe and openpose,it works fine

[jpapon]

@alexLuya Please reopen this, it’s a bad bug that breaks new checkouts of Openpose, or any build that uses Caffe master. It needs to be fixed.

I would submit a pull request, but the owners of the repo need to decide what commit or tag of Caffe they want to use.

@jpapon you are right,thanks,by the way,I can't checkout:f019d0dfe86f49d1140961f8c7dec22130c83154,so checkout another commit:864520713a4c5ffae7382ced5d34e4cadc608473,rebuild caffe and openpose,it works fine

I meet the same problem,I have reinstall the caffe,the problem is still
the new openpose CMakeLists.txt have repair the Line 616 and 651,my problem still

Same issue here

Actually, I solved by select "Build Caffe" and do what exactly https://github.com/CMU-Perceptual-Computing-Lab/openpose/issues/787#issuecomment-415476837. So for me, not use your own Caffe even built with older commit instead of 'master'. Just let openpose build its own Caffe with older Caffe commit by changing the CMakeList.txt of OpenPose. I am using ubuntu 18.04.

这是由于openpose版本与你自己下载的caffe版本不兼容所造成的（最新的caffe加了一个层，导致与openpose中原有的模型不兼容），解决办法：1.用openpose里自带的caffe来build。2.把你的caffe卸载，然后用这个版本： https://github.com/BVLC/caffe/tree/f019d0dfe86f49d1140961f8c7dec22130c83154 其他方法正常配置就可以了。

This is your openpose is incompatible with your caffe. The solution is : 1.use the openpose 's caffe ; 2.use this caffe: https://github.com/BVLC/caffe/tree/f019d0dfe86f49d1140961f8c7dec22130c83154
OK! Enjoy it !

FYI, I tried to build my own version of caffe with that specific commit and did not "Build Caffe" in Openpose's CMakeLists.txt. It just doesn't work for me. The only way for me is to change the CMakeList.txt in Openpose and clone that specific version of caffe, and select "Build Caffe" to let Openpose build its own Caffe with that specific commit/version. 😸

This error only happens in some Ubuntu machines. Following #787, compile your own Caffe with an older version of it. The hacky (quick but not recommended way) is to follow #787#issuecomment-415476837, the elegant way (compatible with future OpenPose versions) is to build your own Caffe independently, following doc/installation.md#custom-caffe-ubuntu-only.

(This message will be added to the doc/faq.md doc)

My solution is compiling openpose 's caffe first, then setting the compiled caffe lib and include directory in cmake-gui.
