@plemeri btw, originally if we don't state a local.pth, it downloads from your google drive and sometimes it failed (because too many downloads)

is it still the case now?

Hi @wilfrediscoming, I moved from google drive to github release, so it is not a problem anymore and I tested myself last week. After some googling, your checkpoint latest_v2.pth seems corrupted. Please check if it is valid.

[transparent-background]，using a local。 Hello friend, can you specify object names to execute? When there are multiple objects in picture and I want to block out some objects, for example, there is a small dog next to me but I don't need it to show. I seem to not be able to find this step in the instructions, thank you!

[wilfrediscoming]

@wwwtxhy You can try some image dectection library, but I am not sure if it fits your use case.

If you don't want a dog to show next to you, you can use inpainting to erase the dog, and any objects that you don't want.

@plemeri Thanks for letting me know, then I don't have to download from my own google drive anymore. Cheers! 👍
