Udacity Image processing

Question

I was trying to follow the instructions for the following TensorFlow demo, where style of an art is transfered to another image:

I successfully installed TensorFlow and the other things. But when i tried to run

'python evaluate.py --checkpoint ./rain-princess.ckpt --in-path <path_to_input_file> --out-path ./output_image.jpg',

my access was denied.

Can anyone shed light as to why this occurs? I am still quite new to this.

Answer 1

Make sure the image which you are passing as input is in fast-style-transfer folder.
python evaluate.py --checkpoint ./rain-princess.ckpt --in-path <path_to_input_file> --out-path ./output_image.jpg
As for the above code in place of path_to_input_file just insert your image name
For example if the image name is saved as jac (jpg format) in fast-style-transfer folder, then code would look like
python evaluate.py --checkpoint ./rain-princess.ckpt --in-path jac.jpg --out-path ./output_image.jpg

Answer 2

Just in case someone is still having the same problem, it only worked with me when I used Python 3.7 :

conda create -n style-transfer python=3.7

Answer 3

Maybe you should try this

python evaluate.py --checkpoint ./rain-princess.ckpt --in-path ./joker.jpg --out-path ./output_image.jpg

Answer 4

It should be rain_princess.ckpt and let the image be image.jpg in the folder then code is:-

python evaluate.py --checkpoint ./rain_princess.ckpt --in-path image.jpg --out-path ./output_image.jpg
