OSError Preventing Deepcolor Function?

Dear Devs,

Thank you for providing this unique demo program! Based on the video, I am attempting to use your code to ‘restore’ old family images in preparation for Father’s Day. However, as a novice coder, I have been running into a lot of brick walls. After seemingly beating dependency hell using the pip installation instructions from @mabdelhack, I have run into OSError: [WinError 126] The specified module could not be found, which I have not been able to solve.

Can I ask any help beating this OSError? The command I am running is python ideepcolor.py --gpu 0 --backend pytorch, which results in the following error message: [win_size] = 512 [image_file] = test_imgs/mortar_pestle.jpg [gpu] = 0 [cpu_mode] = True [color_prototxt] = ./models/reference_model/deploy_nodist.prototxt [color_caffemodel] = ./models/reference_model/model.caffemodel [dist_prototxt] = ./models/reference_model/deploy_nopred.prototxt [dist_caffemodel] = ./models/reference_model/model.caffemodel [color_model] = ./models/pytorch/caffemodel.pth [backend] = pytorch [pytorch_maskcent] = False [load_size] = 256 ColorizeImageTorch instantiated Traceback (most recent call last): File “ideepcolor.py”, line 69, in <module> colorModel.prep_net(path=args.color_model) File “C:\Users\StevenJobs\Documents\2 - WashU Sophomore\2 - WashU Sophomore SP20\CSE204 Code Repository\cse204\interactive-deep-colorization\data\colorize_image.py”, line 217, in prep_net import torch File "C:\Users\StevenJobs\miniconda3\envs\finaldeep\lib\site-packages\torch_init.py", line 81, in <module> ctypes.CDLL(dll) File “C:\Users\StevenJobs\miniconda3\envs\finaldeep\lib\ctypes_init_.py”, line 364, in init self._handle = _dlopen(self.name, mode) OSError: [WinError 126] The specified module could not be found

I am on a Windows 10 operating system, and my virtual environment is as follows:

Dear @mabdelhack and @elmeto7,

I made the changes you recommended, and the program now works as intended. Thank you kindly for all of your assistance; the Father’s Day gift went smashingly.

Thanks, sangtuaco

@sangtuaco,

Try (gui_draw.py", line 48) self.read_image(image_file) instead of self.read_image(image_file.encode(‘utf-8’))

It fixed the issue for me, however GUI never starts now and doesn’t report any errors. I’ve tried GPU and CPU modes.

Please let me know if it works for you!
