Training Issue likely from Version Conflicts

[mcever]

Hi,

I am trying to use the DSRG code, and I am beginning by trying to train a model myself using the run script; however, I get the following error each time the code tries to import caffe:

$ bash run.sh
/media/ssd1/austin/DSRG/deeplab-public-ver2/python
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "../../tools/train.py", line 12, in
import caffe
File "/media/ssd1/austin/DSRG/deeplab-public-ver2/python/caffe/init.py", line 1, in
from .pycaffe import Net, SGDSolver, NesterovSolver, AdaGradSolver, RMSPropSolver, AdaDeltaSolver , AdamSolver

I found a similar issue here (https://github.com/BVLC/caffe/issues/6143), which suggests that I have the wrong version of something, but I'm trying to work out which dependency is causing the problem. I don't have much experience with caffe, but I expect it's an issue with Ubuntu packages (like libprotobuf or protoc) as I'm using a virtual environment for all my Python packages.

Any help is much appreciated.

I was able to move past this particular issue by upgrading my python protobuf to 3.6.1 over the 3.0.0 listed in python-requirements.txt.

Further, I had to pip install pyyaml and sklearn.

@mcever Have you solved the problem? You throw much information which may be irrelevant to your question. Maybe you can check your caffe by running make runtest before running DSRG.

@speedinghzl thanks for the reply. Yes, the issue was that the python-requirements.txt has an old version of protobuf that is incompatible with the project, and the python-requirements.txt is missing a couple of other dependencies.

Another missing Python package: pydensecrf, referenced in the code but not in python-requirements.txt https://github.com/lucasb-eyer/pydensecrf

Just want to tag these on here as well:

1) run.sh line 10 has a hardcoded path that should be PASCAL_DIR 2) python-tk as a dependency, installed via apt-get
