Deprecated Library Functions

[mohdomama]

The following errors were encountered when running src/compare.py

• ValueError: Object arrays cannot be loaded when allow_pickle=False
  • Solution: downgrade numpy to 1.16.1
• AttributeError: module 'scipy.misc' has no attribute 'imread
  • Solution: downgrade scipy to 1.1.0

I downgrade scipy to 1.1.0, but the AttributeErrors is still there.(I am setting up a new machine) Solution: install pillow

Trying out this library in 2021 and encountered the same errors, found this issue and later some solutions. I'll try to describe what I did:

Python version is 3.7.10 tensorflow-gpu version is 1.15 (replaced requirements.txt tensorflow==1.7 with tensorflow-gpu==1.15)

• ValueError: Object arrays cannot be loaded when allow_pickle=False

  • have to update the py files, all calls to np.load have to include allow_pickle=True e.g. detect_face.py:85, data_dict = np.load(data_path, encoding='latin1', allow_pickle=True)

• AttributeError: module 'scipy.misc' has no attribute 'imread'

  • scipy deprecated scipy.misc.imread, you may also need to install pillow if you haven't already done so install imageio, find and replace misc.imread with imageio.imread and import imageio in all files that need it

• in align_dataset_mtcnn.py I also replaced

  1. misc.imsave with imageio.imwrite
  2. misc.imresize(cropped, (args.image_size, args.image_size), interp='bilinear') with np.asarray(Image.fromarray(cropped).resize((args.image_size, args.image_size), resample=Image.BILINEAR)) (remember to include from pillow import Image at the top)

hope that helps.
