Missing output flag in Topaz gui to train denoise model

[sven-lange]

Hi - just a minor thing but the --output flag is missing in the Topaz GUI for training of new denoise models (there is only a --save_prefix flag). It's easy enough to fix, just a bit annoying as training runs through all epochs and only fails to save the output in the very end. BW Sven

Maybe there is more at work here... as adding the output flag with gets rid of the following error, but no final model is written?

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/programs/x86_64-linux/topaz/0.2.5_cu11.2/bin/topaz", line 33, in sys.exit(load_entry_point('topaz-em==0.2.5', 'console_scripts', 'topaz')()) File "/programs/x86_64-linux/topaz/0.2.5_cu11.2/lib/python3.9/site-packages/topaz/main.py", line 148, in main args.func(args) File "/programs/x86_64-linux/topaz/0.2.5_cu11.2/lib/python3.9/site-packages/topaz/commands/denoise.py", line 535, in main if not os.path.exists(args.output): File "/programs/x86_64-linux/topaz/0.2.5_cu11.2/lib/python3.9/genericpath.py", line 19, in exists os.stat(path) TypeError: stat: path should be string, bytes, os.PathLike or integer, not NoneType

I experience the exact same issue.

I also thought this should be an easy fix, but apparently there is more to it. Training works well, but somehow the path variable is never properly defined.

This is annoying since it seems so minor and training runs through just the weights are not saved...

[DennisDannecker]

I have just checked back on it.

Turns out the models (.sav files) are still written despite the error thrown after the last epoch as been run through. The error is weird, it also looks for in the systemwide pyhton library and not limits to the conda environment, at least when run in jupyter notebook via !command. When run in a terminal with the environment active, it will throw the same error but limits it to the conda environment, which I had expected for the notebook as well when the kernel is connected with the environment.

Anyways, despite the errors, the models are written out and can be inputted for a subsequent denoising.

Why there is no response within 3 weeks is unusual for the Topaz developers, as far as what I have seen, they are usually quite active over here...

Can you share the exact command you ran and your python environment (e.g., conda list)?

[DennisDannecker]

Here is the command that I run that produces the error:

!topaz denoise -a /Data/erc-3/ddannecker/noise_analysis/output/idpc/denoised_movies/topaz/even_set/ \ -b /Data/erc-3/ddannecker/noise_analysis/output/idpc/denoised_movies/topaz/odd_set/ \ -d 1 --save-prefix /Data/erc-3/ddannecker/noise_analysis/output/idpc/denoised_movies/topaz/trained_models/ \ --preload

The command is run inside the jupyter notebook provided by you for the tutorial on denoising using n2n style.

The environment I am using is the one suggested in the installation instruction for the topaz environment.

Here the output for conda list (after activating the respective topaz environment).

Again, the models are ultimately saved and ready to use, but somehow the path variable is not defined.

[tbepler]

I believe this is already fixed on main, but we haven't pushed that out in a new version on conda/pip. Have you tried installing from source?

[DennisDannecker]

Ah, okay.

No I haven't but I can certainly try this. However, since it still works and I by now I have my denoised micrographs I am good in that regard. This was also to bring this to attention. But yes, I shall try it and get back to you. Thanks for looking into this.
