AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'shape'

Hello when I run the train_frcnn.py as follows python train_frcnn.py -o simple -p images_train/train.txt the img = cv2.imread(filename) in simple_parser.py is empty and I get the error that the tittle says here is my train.txt file:
train.txt
and the txt file is in the same folder with the images and their annotation what am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!

You need to delete the first line of your txt file, for the first line it reads the filename as "filename" then it gives error.

In my case, It was a fault in annotation.txt file. cv2.imread() may not read the image because of a false image path.
