Provide trained mode

[goodrahstar]

Hi,
Can someone please provide the trained model.

Thanks

[usamaoDATA]

i too would like access to the trained weights, i dont have the resources to run the training scripts

[ChadTaljaardt]

I will train it and provide it for you in a few days 👍

[ChadTaljaardt]

Im having issues installing everything required (tensor flow) but i will have it resolved soon.

[ChadTaljaardt]

Okay i have a working system out now, training the file today, will upload it in around 7 hours from now 👍

[goodrahstar]

Thanks a lot @ChadTaljaardt .. w8ting for your training model.

[ISKU]

gj 😄 i want to.

[ChadTaljaardt]

Here is the file.

There was a error when i clicked ctrl + c to end the training after around 180,000 batches,

Can someone try this and tell me if it works : http://www.mediafire.com/file/j08uh8e4f26u110/weights.npz

[ChadTaljaardt]

Got it to work, was using a bad image.

Here is a result of the model.

[usamaoDATA]

thank you for this

[usamaoDATA]

can you tell me how long did it take to train and what were the specs of the machine doing the training

[ChadTaljaardt]

my specs are:

AMD Phenom x6 1090T
12GB Ram
GTX 1070
Ubuntu 16.10
CUDA 8.0
CUDNN 5.1.5

And i think it took like 4-5 hours to converge at around 100,000 but i ran it around 7 hours.

[goodrahstar]

Thanks a lot @ChadTaljaardt ... it was really helpful :)
Cheers (Y)

@ChadTaljaardt the file is no longer available

I am unable to load the weights.npz file and get the below error. I have the latest version of numpy with Python 2.7. Any help is appreciated.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "detect.py", line 184, in
f = numpy.load(sys.argv[2])
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/numpy/lib/npyio.py", line 429, in load
"Failed to interpret file %s as a pickle" % repr(file))
IOError: Failed to interpret file 'weights.npz' as a pickle

HI , @ChadTaljaardt , I am trying to run train , but not on a GPU , but on a normal CPU .
After about 3 hours , It did not generate any weights.npz. I agree it will not be well trained but it should have at least generated a weights.npz??? Does it generate weights.npz only after it is well trained or maybe there is some other glitch???

[Abhi001vj]

@Chinmayi-Prasad I think it will be generated if you do ctrl-c ,that's what i think from this code snippet from 249 in train.py.

`

        249 except KeyboardInterrupt:

        last_weights = [p.eval() for p in params]

        numpy.savez("weights.npz", *last_weights)

        return last_weights`

[JuanjoLopez]

What database did you use?

[chinmayips]

@JuanjoLopez , The one generated using the generate.py code .

[prabhjot-singh-gogana]

Hi @ChadTaljaardt , I really appreciate your affords to create an awesome model. Just want to know can we convert it into .caffemodel or .mlmodel. Thanks in advance

hi,ChadTaljaardt,what is the result come from,is it use the weight file you commented on Oct 22, 2016 ,or another weight file you trained!because I use the weight file you "ChadTaljaardt commented on Oct 22, 2016 ",it work still so bad!

Hello everyone.

Sorry that i have not been active in this thread, i haven't used this project in a long time and don't even have the computer i used anymore to be able to train another model.

Please remember that the project was "experimental" and wasn't designed to match license plates that didn't match a specific format.

[ChadTaljaardt]

@preetj Can you show us your directory structure?

[preetj]

@preetj Can you show us your directory structure?

ThankYou so much @ChadTaljaardt for replying.
I found the error just now it was because I extracted the weights.npz folder instead of using the zip file.

Hi @preetj
I am encountering the same error as you, can you show your code on how you solve this problem? Thanks a lot
