I have an error when I load image file in data/coco/images/val2017

[sun-tao]

when I use !python3 pose_estimation/valid.py
--cfg experiments/coco/resnet50/256x192_d256x3_adam_lr1e-3.yaml
--flip-test
--model-file models/pytorch/pose_coco/pose_resnet_50_256x192.pth.tar
--workers 2
to valid the pretrained model,the following error happens!

This error occurs when the code is unable to locate your image file.

I encountered this when using my own dataset. The best way to sort this out is to keep that particular image outside the Val/Train folder and run the code again. For example: for Valid images. Instead of placing them inside /data/images/valid2017. Just keep it /data/images and then try. Try with 1 image and see if the same error occurs for the next image of the valid. Then you would understand.

It worked for me!

@Dipankar1997161 Hello can you please explain how did you use the model for your own dataset?
