Export protobuf from DLC GUI? #106

Closed blaingvt closed 1 year ago

blaingvt commented 1 year ago

I really have enjoyed using DLC and am trying to get DLCLive! working. DLClivetest works and engages GPU.

Is there a way to export .pb protobuf file from DLC-GUI?

Here is a picture of the error that I get when I send filepath to pose_cfg file. DLCLIVEError

Thank you very much for this amazing software.

Thanks for the nice words!

You can export the model in dlc with model_export ! Then indeed you point to the exported folder files!

Wow so exciting! Thank you Dr. Mathis!

Successfully used the deeplabcut.export_model( ) command to create the folder containing the .pb file so my DLC model would initialize.

In the interest of helping individuals use this command in the future, I want to point out that if your filepath has C:\Users, the \U causes an expectation for unicode relevant information. Need to use double backslashes instead of the single in 'C:\Users'.

Resolving that issue is explained here. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1347791/unicode-error-unicodeescape-codec-cant-decode-bytes-cannot-open-text-file
