Getting Access violation reading location while reading readFromModelOptimizer OR readNet

I installed Intel® OpenVINO™ toolkit 2020 1 version, and from open_model_zoo downloaded the following two files:

person-vehicle-bike-detection-crossroad-0078.bin  
person-vehicle-bike-detection-crossroad-0078.xml 

OpenVINO installed successfully and when running the demos it runs without error. And added all necessary paths to the environment variable e.g:

C:\Program Files (x86)\IntelSWTools\openvino\deployment_tools\inference_engine\bin\intel64\Release
C:\Program Files (x86)\IntelSWTools\openvino_2020.1.033\opencv\bin
C:\Program Files (x86)\IntelSWTools\openvino_2020.1.033\deployment_tools\ngraph\lib
C:\Program Files (x86)\IntelSWTools\openvino\inference_engine\external\tbb\bin

And then for test, I first run a simple program which opens (laptop camera as well as a video file) and read frames and shows it:

void main ()
{
	cv::Mat frame;
	cv::VideoCapture capture;
	int type = 0;
	if (type == 0) {
		capture.open("C:/video/768x576.avi");
	}
	else if (type == 1) {
		capture.open(0);
	}

	cv::namedWindow("video", cv::WINDOW_FREERATIO);
	while (capture.read(frame)) {
		imshow("video", frame);
		cv::waitKey((type == 0 ? int(1000 / capture.get(cv::CAP_PROP_FPS)) : 1));
	}
}

All works well. But when I read net, then throws exception, code + error:

		std::string modelName = "person-vehicle-bike-detection-crossroad-0078"; 
		cv::Size size(1024, 1024); 
		string basePath = "C:/models/";
		string xml = basePath + modelName + ".xml";
		string bin = basePath + modelName + ".bin";
		cv::dnn::Net net = cv::dnn::Net::readFromModelOptimizer(xml, bin); // error line
		//cv::dnn::Net net = cv::dnn::readNet(bin, xml); // it is also an error line

Error: Exception thrown at 0x00007FFEBCA412D4 (ntdll.dll) in cloths_detector.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x0000000000000004.

So I don’t know where I am wrong, and how to solve this error? Thanks!

Try this:

• find plugins.xml (openvino\inference_engine\bin\intel64\Release)
• backup this file
• remove GNA entry (2 lines) - Administrator privileges may be required

or reinstall OpenVINO without GNA plugin (disable GNA component in installer).

Which CPU model do you have? (link on ark.intel.com is preferable)

@alalek Thank you so much!! Yes, it was the tick, now it works well, with both release and debugs mode, but in debug mode, it works very slow. And also now it works well with the OpenCV which builds by myself.

In the next release, it will be good to avoid this problem exist.

Thanks again!!
